Dirt Biking in Costa Rica




Dirt biking is an exhilarating way of touring the beautiful hills and terrain of Costa Rica, San Jose. MotoAdventures is a company based in San Jose, that provides beautiful tours with hotel accommodations. The two day tour would be a perfectly designed excursion for me.


For the 'Two Day Tour' you can choose to stay at the pacific coast at Hermosa Beach, or at a mountain lodge close to Volcan Poas. This tour package costs $250 US, and also provides me with overnight accommodation that can easily be done with the flexibility of staying at a hostel. This would provide an excellent education for the country that I am visiting as well as a thrill while riding a dirt bike. 

Flight & Hostel Accommodations

The flight price tends to vary throughout the tourist season. Being a student in college; I want prefer to make this trip as feasible as possible while at the same time being able to fit my motives and desires. Thus my four month summer vacation is the perfect time to get away. The price of the flight is cheap, as well choosing a hostel like Solo Bueno Hostel in Costa Rica is an optimal financial solution. This cozy surf hostel, hidden within the jungle at Playa Guiones on the Nicoya Peninsula is a ten-minute stroll to the beach where I could surf during the day. It is also a short distance to a number of area restaurants and bars to experience the nightlife. Daily rates for Hostel Solo Bueno average up to $ 25 (US) during high season. There are two dorm rooms at the hostel, both rooms have fans and there are single beds and a few bunk beds. A company like Flightnetwork tracks cheap flights during off season. A flight in May would be the perfect 10 day get away to make this dream a reality. 

Motive & Desire: Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a destination that can accommodate many different types of tourists. Everywhere from a organized mass tourist to an aimless drifter. I like to categorize myself as an explorer. I believe I would thoroughly enjoy booking a flight and doing limited preparation of what I plan to do once I am there. My motivation to choose a place like San Jose, Costa Rica is because it coincides with my desire for water-based activities. Costa Rica is known for an incredible wave break, and as a surfer; my days will be mostly spent in the oceans. It is also home to beautiful scenery and nature. Photography is a big passion of mine in and out of water. On days where there aren't nice waves or wind, I would love to explore and travel. Lastly, other water sports like scuba diving, and kitesurfing are additional activities that can not be preformed in cold Canada. Leaving my daily routine behind me and traveling to this new destination where I can be active is what I would love to do. I will be sure to document my experience in Costa Rica on this blog so you can enjoy my journey as well.
