Day by dayThe Itinerary
Day01
Arrival day in San Jose
Arrive any time — a Two Wheel Epix team member meets you at SJO with a sign. Transfer to the hotel, build your bike, and meet the rest of the group.
Day02
Intro to the Costa Rican MTB community
Adventure Bike Park, one of the three hubs that shaped Costa Rican mountain biking — 3–5 km descents through roots, rocks and tropical soil. 15 mi / 24 km and 6,000 ft of descent, riding with local Ticos, then a traditional Costa Rican dinner.
Day03
Travel to Providencia — Costa Rica's MTB mecca
A three-hour drive into the rural mountain towns above the farmland, then straight into laps at Senderos Retana. Steep, rooty and flowy, all fanning out from a singletrack section called Bermy's — 15 mi / 24 km and 6,000 ft down.
Day04
Provi trails all day long
Wake up at the base of the trails. Stretch, then a full day of flowy, technical and high-speed descents with a long lunch in the middle — 15 mi / 24 km and 6,000 ft of descent.
Day05
Unlock some of the world's best trails
A final full day on Senderos Retana with more confidence and more flow — steep descents, technical sections and loamy singletrack. 15 mi / 24 km and 6,000 ft down.
Day06
Rest day and head to the beach
Nearly 25,000 ft of descent in four days is enough. A three-hour drive to Beach Camp Rafiki on the coast — pool, open-air restaurant, surf van, and jungle full of monkeys, sloths and toucans.
Day07
Beach life
Surfing, a natural reserve, a remote beach, or nothing at all. Options are set with your guide the day before; lunch at 1pm at the camp or packed for the beach.
Day08
Beach day and a jungle night hike
One more full day on the coast, then at 5pm into the jungle for the Rafiki Safari Lodge — 50,000 acres of protected reserve on the Savegre River. Sunset, a dip in the lake, dinner, and a night hike as the jungle wakes up.
Day09
Buen Camino bike park — victory laps
A 2.5-hour drive to Buen Camino for the last riding day: smaller descents, jumps, berms, drops and flow, set in the heart of the jungle. 15 mi / 24 km and 6,000 ft down, then wash and pack the bikes by the pool.
Day10
Departure
Last-minute shopping around San Jose, bikes packed, and a transfer to the airport with the Two Wheel team.
