Experience superb technical singletrack, desecending from the highest peaks in the country, with the best local guides wrapped up daily with a chilled cerveza at the end of the day. Pura Vida translated simply means 'pure life'. Join us and see why.

6 Reasons we love this trip:

Spending time with and getting to know local guide Paulo Valle, an accomplished rider, consummate professional and all-around great person.
Walking out of your hotel on the first morning of the trip to a warm tropical breeze, knowing that friends back home are shoveling their driveways of snow.
Rolling into the beautiful town of Santa Maria at the end of the day, nestled in the mountains and far away from tourists.
Feeling your descending skills improve daily as you get out of your comfort zone on Costa Rica’s challenging trails.
Enjoying some deserved beach time on the country’s spectacular Pacific coastline after a week of rugged singletrack riding.
Bonding with riding friends as you share big rides and big experiences together.
