You kick gravel as the mountain exhales morning mist, engine rumbling beneath you and the rainforest closing in like a living wall. The day begins on dirt tracks behind Jacó, pushing up through primary rainforest to a 35‑foot cascade where spray dares you to wade in and wash the road from your skin.

Pack a dry change of clothes
River stops and waterfall swims mean you’ll want dry clothes for the return and for the beach run.
Hydrate and apply reef‑safe sunscreen
Bring a reusable water bottle and sunscreen—the coastal sun intensifies on exposed ridgelines.
Closed‑toe shoes (trainers or light boots)
Protects feet during river crossings, rocky sections and when dismounting.
Light, quick‑dry clothing and a spare set
Dries fast after waterfall or river stops and keeps you comfortable later in the day.
Small daypack with hydration bladder
Keeps water, phone, sunscreen and a compact rain shell accessible while riding.
Sunscreen & insect repellent (reef‑safe sunscreen preferred)
Sun protection on exposed ridges and insect protection in the rainforest are both necessary.
