Situated in Central America between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica boasts 800 known species of sea and land birds, giant leatherback turtles, Howler monkeys and the adorable white faced Capuchin monkeys. The trail explores the west coast of Costa Rica in the sparsely populated province of Guanacaste, along the Pacific Ocean. The area was formed sixty million years ago by the eruption of volcanoes. It is the ancient volcanoes which formed the magnificent mountain range and the beautiful beaches along which you will ride. This trip takes riders along seventeen different beaches.
Some beaches are white while others are black.
All are interesting. You will ride along beaches where pirates stashed their loot and weapons. Along the trail, you will see the nesting areas of giant turtles. It is here that the giant turtles come to lay their eggs every year between November through March. You will pass small fishing villages and will get a chance to see the day's catch.
