Once you’ve conquered the waves, it’s time to switch from surfboard to ATV and dive deep into the untamed beauty of the Costa Rican jungle. Feel the surge of adrenaline as you take control of a powerful quad bike and explore rugged backroads, muddy trails, and hidden pathways surrounded by lush rainforest.

The ATV ride isn’t just about speed — it’s about exploration. You’ll pass through local villages, tropical plantations, and wild landscapes alive with birds, howler monkeys, and vibrant vegetation. Every turn brings a new surprise, every trail a new view.

This off-road journey is your gateway to discovering the authentic Caribbean countryside, far from the crowds and tourist paths. Whether you’re splashing through puddles or cruising under the canopy of giant ceiba trees, the experience captures the raw, adventurous heart of Puerto Viejo.

After the excitement of surfing and off-roading, it’s time to relax and refresh at one of Puerto Viejo’s best-kept secrets — a spectacular jungle waterfall. The sound of rushing water greets you long before you see it, and when you arrive, the scene looks like something out of a dream: crystal-clear pools, moss-covered rocks, and the soft mist of pure nature.

Take a swim in the refreshing waters, unwind under the falls, or simply soak in the tranquility of the tropical surroundings. This stop is more than a break — it’s a moment of connection with the raw beauty that makes Costa Rica one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
