This is a true coast-to-coast traverse of Costa Rica — powered by our own movement. We do lots of kilometers by bike, cross the Continental Divide, descend through valleys and coffee country, raft and kayak the length of the Pacuare River all the way to the Caribbean Sea. Throughout these days, we'll share the effort and momentum — pushing through climbs together, celebrating the downhills, and discovering just how much our bodies are capable of when we keep moving as a team.

Welcome to Costa Rica! A tropical Paradise surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Upon arrival at the airport, one of our representatives will pick you up and transfer you to the hotel in San Jose.

Hotel Diuwak

The adventure begins today! With our bikes ready, we head into Costa Rica’s rural heart — quiet backroads bordered by jungle, rivers, and far-off mountain views. The ride is equal parts challenge and reward.

Tonight we settle into Camp Esquipulas, set beside the Naranjo River and surrounded by nature.

Make sure you fuel yourself for the day ahead! First we start with a 25km hike traversing remote trails through coffee farmland, rewarding us with amazing views of the Pacific.
Once finished, it's time to grab our bikes and pedal all the way to Santa Maria, a classic Costa Rican town with a unique charm of its own.

Our biggest test of the trip awaits - a steady, sustained climb that earns its place. Before breakfast, we’re on our bikes tackling 14 kilometers uphill toward the Continental Divide, reaching 2,330 meters, the highest point of our journey.

And then, we get the payoff. What follows is pure biking joy: long stretches of downhill, dirt roads, and single-track that let you enjoy the rhythm.

The afternoon finishes in the Orosi Valley, where green forests cover most of the land. We spend the night in the quiet town of Orosi — legs tired, spirits high, and stories already forming.

Meals Included: B, L

Biking distance: 50 km

Orosi Orocay Lodge

Another day that will test you! Getting deeper into the country through remote and wild terrains, the tracks will have long climbs and exciting descents.

After some challenging hours on two wheels, El Nido del Tigre is the perfect place to recharge. An off-the-grid jungle camp tucked deep in the forest, surrounded entirely by nature — rivers close by, clear skies, and slow evenings sharing stories.

Meals Included: B, L, D

Biking distance: 70 km
Hiking distance: 4 km

El Nido del Tigre

We slow things down here, settling into this special spot along the banks of the Pacuare River. The day is easy and open — hiking gentle hills, wandering through primary forest, swimming in the river, and discovering waterfalls and clear swimming holes where the water is so pure you can drink it most of the year.

This stretch of rainforest remains beautifully untouched, with only minimal footprint to host a small number of guests. El Nido del Tigre — named for the giant ginger plants that blanket the area — feels private and unhurried. It’s the kind of place where nature is close, the air feels different, and you fall asleep deeply, still hearing the river nearby.

Meals Included: B, L, D

El Nido del Tigre

It's time to jump into the water! We spend the day moving with the river, rafting through lively whitewater framed by dense canyon walls. It’s one of Costa Rica’s classic river experiences.

By the afternoon, we reach Finca Pacuarito, tucked deep in the jungle and our base for the last push.

Meals Included: B, L, D

Finca Pacuarito

Back to our pedals for a quick ride through banana plantations to Freeman. In this town our kayaks will be ready for us to start our way down the Pacuare River. We leave the rapids behind as we paddle toward the Caribbean lowlands, rainforest gradually giving way to open farmland. It’s a steady, reflective finish to the traverse.

We complete the last mile together, reaching the mouth of the Pacuare where it meets the Caribbean Sea. A toast at the water's edge marks the end of the journey — well earned.

After some time on the beach, a motorboat transfers us to Moín, where we continue by vehicle toward the coast.

Meals Included: B, L

Biking Distance: 27 km
Kayaking Distance: 12 km

Atlantida Lodge

After a slow morning in Cahuita, we make our way back to San José. The shift is clear — from quiet coastline and jungle to the rhythm of the city — but the journey stays with us.
