Review: Amazing views of playa danta and islands in the cove from this trail! It was hot and dry but we saw monkeys and pezotes! My fiance is expert mountain biker and it was only my third trail ever- but we both had fun! I walked the bike a little bit but was able to ride most of the way. Jake and amy at pura vida ride were kind and informative. All in all pretty fun :-)

Review: My wife and I live in Atlanta and ride all over North Georgia and Western NC. We wanted to ride while we were on vacation in Costa Rica and so we took a day trip out to Las Catalinas on our last day. Its only about 1.5 hrs from Liberia (using some dirt roads). We were not disappointed in what we found there. The rental bikes at Pura Vide Ride were decent - I rode a 29er hard tail Kona - and the people were nice and helpful (and spoke perfect English for anyone concerned). The trails are well planned and maintained. Much like the mountain biking in our neck of the woods, they have lots up twists, turns, creek crossings (although it was very dry at the time) and dips, etc. Less rooty then what we typically ride, and the ocean views are amazing! One of the owners told me they are working on adding another 5K worth of trails, which would be great. They currently have about 10K, which was plenty given how hot it was. I'd recommend starting early in the morning if you can. They are right on Danta beach and so you can surf, boogie board, paddle board, etc if you have the time and energy. Overall, it was great and we plan on going again sometime. -Hutch
