Big Mountain has been pioneering mountain biking in Costa Rica since 2000 and the riding gets better every year. This peaceful, cruisy, tropical jewel boasts one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet where nearly 10% of the world's species of plants and animals thrive. A series of big volcanoes and mountains split the country in two. These mountains, draped in lush cloud forests, have epic singletrack hidden under their dense canopy; if you know where to go. Along the coastline, Costa Rica's waves and beaches are some of the best in Central America. We love riding in Costa Rica. Join us and see why.
Join us on our favorite winter DH getaway as we head south to this tropical jewel. From the moment that you arrive in sultry San Jose you'll be enamoured by the culture and blown away by the shuttle access riding. Ride long technical downhills from the highest peaks in the country and sip a cold beer at the end of the day. Translated into English, pura vida simply means pure life. Grab you DH bike and full-face helmet and come ride with our local connection Paulo Valle and mountain bike superstar Wade Simmons. Hang on tight, Costa Rica style.
