Full-Day ATV Ride from Jaco: Waterfalls, Tulin River Lunch and a Pacific Beach Run

A full day on an ATV with a professional bilingual guide, aimed at the parts of Costa Rica away from the main roads: hidden waterfalls, rivers, seasonal trails and rainforest places most locals do not even know about. It suits solo riders as well as friends and family. The day starts in the mountains behind Jaco and stops at Cascada del Zorro, a 35-foot waterfall. Past the crest, a mirador looks over the ocean toward Manuel Antonio, the Nicoya Peninsula and Puntarenas. The ridgeline then runs toward the mountains around Playa Hermosa, and the trail drops through the La Gloria mountains to the Tulin River, with a riverside lunch stop in the small town of Mata de Platano. Afterwards the climb continues through the remote villages of Montelimar, Angostura, Pavona and San Gabriel, and through Las Delicias (population 39), known for its ATV and motocross rallies. The last mountain pueblo is Bijagual. From there the ride descends to a beach-side bar and finishes with a 2-kilometer run along the Pacific, with a view of the sun moving toward the Nicoya Peninsula, before the ride back to the headquarters.
