You kick gravel, hear the engine answer, and a ribbon of jungle opens toward the Pacific — palms and broken light pushing at the trail’s edge. The 3-hour Double ATV run out of Jaco drops quickly from a private ocean lookout through riverbeds and dirt tracks, then eases to a short hike that ends at a small, swim-friendly waterfall ten minutes from Los Sueños.

You kick gravel, hear the engine answer, and a ribbon of jungle opens toward the Pacific — palms and broken light pushing at the trail’s edge. The 3-hour Double ATV run out of Jaco drops quickly from a private ocean lookout through riverbeds and dirt tracks, then eases to a short hike that ends at a small, swim-friendly waterfall ten minutes from Los Sueños.
This coastline of Puntarenas was shaped by uplifted volcanic bedrock and alluvial fans; trails cut through pockets of secondary rainforest and plantations that give way to coarse black-sand beaches. Local guides are bilingual and versed in regional culture: many families here work between tourism, fishing, and small-scale agriculture, and the route passes through areas used seasonally for cattle and crop transport.
Expect a hands-on, motorized land-adventure: a brief private-track warm-up, guided navigation across uneven routes and river crossings, and a pause at a sky bridge and ocean viewpoint for photos. The waterfall stop is short but restorative — a chance to swim, stretch, and eat fresh tropical fruit provided at the end.
Practical side: drivers must be 18+ with a credit card on file (a refundable hold or pay a $25 insurance option per ATV), passengers need to be at least 8. Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants for protection, and plan around the rainy season when trails get slick. Guides supply water and safety briefings; bring a light daypack, waterproof phone case, and a willingness to get muddy — the rewards are wide Pacific views and a private plunge pool that few visitors reach.
moderate.
3 hours.
Moderate fitness required—able to mount/dismount the ATV, stand briefly on uneven ground, and walk a short 5-minute trail to the waterfall.
Drivers must be at least 18 years old and present a credit card for the deposit; passengers must be at least 8 years old.
Yes — the itinerary includes a short hike (about 5 minutes) to a private waterfall where swimming and relaxing are allowed when conditions are safe.
Tours can be canceled for safety in heavy rain; light showers are common and guides will proceed when trails are safe—expect muddier conditions.
The operator places a refundable hold (about $1,000 per 1–5 vehicles) on a credit card, or you can pay a non-refundable $25 insurance fee per ATV to waive the hold.
The central Pacific coast developed around fishing and small-scale agriculture; Jaco grew rapidly after road improvements in the late 20th century and now serves as a gateway to nearby rainforest and surf.
Stay on designated tracks and avoid feeding wildlife; vehicles and human traffic can cause erosion—operators typically follow local guidelines to minimize trail widening and waterway disturbance.
Vista Los Suenos Adventure Park operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
