More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Honda 420 idles at the edge of a sandy lane, ocean spray on one side and a cordillera of verdant hills on the other. You kick it into gear and the coastline peels past: surf breaks, rocky coves, and dirt tracks threading through low rainforest. The machine hums steady; the map in your pack points to a hidden waterfall and a bluff with a raw Pacific view.

Top off fuel before long runs
Gas stations are limited on the Nicoya Peninsula — fill up in Cobano or Tambor before exploring remote trails.
Avoid muddy trails after heavy rain
Red clay tracks rut easily when wet; park and wait or choose firmer coastal routes to avoid damaging trails.
Respect private land and pedestrian traffic
Slow down near villages and surf access points — pedestrians and local traffic share narrow dirt roads.
Secure your phone and valuables
Use a dry bag or lockable storage on the rack—sand, dust and vibration can damage electronics and wallets.
Closed-toe hiking or ATV boots
Protects feet from rocks, heat and machine vibration on mixed terrain.
Goggles or sunglasses with strap
Keeps dust and sand out of your eyes on open tracks and beach runs.
Reef-safe sunscreen and lip balm
High UV exposure on open coastline; choose biodegradable options to protect local marine life.
