More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light over Jaco picks out the ocean and the dark green slope of the nearby mountains. You swing your leg over a two‑ or four‑stroke enduro, the engine’s low thrum answering the chatter of birds. Within an hour the town’s surf-scented air gives way to a humid forest corridor where singletrack narrows, roots grab at tires, and a river dares you to pick a line across its rocks.

History
Jaco grew from a small fishing village into a surf and adventure gateway in the late 20th century, with many trails originally created for cattle and logging repurposed for recreation.
Conservation
Trail erosion is a local concern—stick to established routes, avoid widening lines in muddy conditions, and pack out any trash; many local operators contribute a portion of proceeds to habitat protection.
