The first pedal stroke lifts dust off the rocky road and the Pacific wind pushes you toward the sea. Riders roll out from Montezuma—colorful houses, stray dogs, and the steady hiss of surf—then thread singletrack, gravel tracks and short technical rock sections that skirt cliffs and coconut groves.

The first pedal stroke lifts dust off the rocky road and the Pacific wind pushes you toward the sea. Riders roll out from Montezuma—colorful houses, stray dogs, and the steady hiss of surf—then thread singletrack, gravel tracks and short technical rock sections that skirt cliffs and coconut groves.
This stretch of the Nicoya Peninsula sits within one of the world’s Blue Zones; local foods, fishing traditions and slow coastal rhythms shape communities that favor long, active lives. Geologically the coastline is carved from ancient volcanic flows and uplifted marine terraces, so expect compacted rock outcrops and abrupt beach access. Culturally, fishing and small-scale farming still anchor daily life; you’ll pass family plots and roadside fruit stands as guides point out edible plants and surf breaks.
On this 15 km loop led by a former pro racer, highlights include views of Cabuya Island, Playa Las Rocas with its rope swing and snorkeling shelf, and quick stops at tiny waterfalls invisible from the highway. Wildlife is modest but present: coatis, scarlet macaws overhead and hermit crabs along the shore.
Practical edge: the route is mostly rocky and gravel, with short singletrack and exposed rock sections—moderate fitness and basic bike-handling recommended. Bring a filled hydration pack, flat repair kit, and closed-toe shoes. Tours run 2–3 hours and usually end back in Montezuma in time for a cold drink: a well-paced, intimate way to see hidden corners of Costa Rica’s coast without straying far from village life.

Yes—the operator supplies mountain bikes and helmets; you can bring your own if you prefer.
If the tide is low, guides may lead participants onto the tidal tombolo that connects to Cabuya Island; this depends on tide and trail conditions.
The Nicoya Peninsula has pre-Columbian roots and long fishing traditions; many coastal communities maintain small-scale artisanal livelihoods.
Stick to established tracks and avoid disturbing tide pools and reef areas; local guides support low-impact routes and respect fishing zones.
