Out in the Open CR

Find your freedom. Ride beyond the ordinary.

There's something special about being out in the open. The freedom of the road ahead, the rhythm of the ride, the unexpected places you discover and the people you meet along the way.

At BikingCR, we invite you to experience Costa Rica differently. Ride through rural landscapes, discover hidden countryside roads, climb towards volcanoes, pass through local communities and explore beyond the usual tourist routes.

A passion for adventure, since the beginning.

Juan and Ashley are long-time friends who share a passion for adventure and a history of involvement in some of the world's great endurance events. Today, they bring that experience together through their professional commitment to BikingCR.
