People who love to ride mountain bikes can now do so as a means of transport up to Monteverde – do an adventure on the way to your next destination, as a part of the innovative Desafío Adventure Connection. We have two riding options, depending on your adventure level: The first and more-intense ride is about 3-hours long or about 25 miles. We’ll start at the Lake Arenal Dam where you drop off your luggage with Captain Marquez, our boat driver. From there we ride past the rural community of El Castillo until we get to the pristine Caño Negro river that runs alongside Rancho Margot. From here we do a technical river crossing and continue riding through rolling hills along the edge of picture-perfect Lake Arenal until ride to the small town of Río Chiquito. This man-made lake is the second-largest lake in Central America. To get from one side of the lake to the other by land, there are several bridge-less river crossings. The scenery is a combination of secondary rainforest, farmland and great views of the lake and volcano. Your eagle-eyed bike guide will help point out some of the local wildlife indigenous to the area, such as wild boar, sloths, toucans, Oropendolas and iguanas. Upon arrival to Río Chiquito, you will be reunited with your luggage and Freddy, our driver, will drive you in his mini-van the remaining 1.5- hours up the steep, gravel roads to your hotel in Monteverde. Includes: professional suspension mountain bikes, gloves, helmets, bike guide, transport up to Monteverde, water break, small snack Departure time: 8: 30 AM Duration: 6.5 hours Rate per person |
