Our story
Ultra-endurance events
Besides tours, we design and run some of the toughest endurance races in Central America.
A nonstop ultramarathon across an entire country, through jungles, cloud forest, rivers and rural and indigenous communities. Part of the One Hundred Endurance Trail World Championship. Plus the 111K "La Ruta Sukia".
A nonstop bikepacking race around the Nicoya Peninsula: mountains, jungle, rivers, mud, gravel, beaches and hike-a-bike. No support, no mandatory stops. You make the calls.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Costa Rica?
In Central America, bordering Nicaragua and Panama, with coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Do I need a visa?
Many nationalities, including U.S. and EU citizens, don't need a visa for tourist stays. Always check the current requirements for your nationality before you travel.
What currency is used?
The Costa Rican colón (CRC). U.S. dollars and credit/debit cards are widely accepted.
What time zone is Costa Rica in?
UTC−6 year-round (the same as U.S. Central Standard Time), with no daylight saving.
Do I need vaccinations?
No specific vaccinations are required for most travelers, but it's recommended to be up to date on routine vaccines. Check with your doctor before you travel.
Can I drink the tap water?
Tap water is safe in most of the country. In some remote or rural areas, bottled or filtered water is recommended.
What electricity does Costa Rica use?
120V, the same as the U.S., with Type A and B outlets.
Is tipping customary?
Restaurant bills usually include a 10% service charge, so extra tipping is optional. Tipping guides and drivers is common and depends on the quality of service.
Is Costa Rica safe for travelers?
Costa Rica is one of the safest countries in the region. Take standard precautions, especially in cities. On tour, our guides and 24/7 support have you covered.
Do I really need a guide?
You don't have to, but a good guide opens up a Costa Rica that's hard to reach on your own: hidden trails, private visits, wildlife you'd walk right past, and someone to handle transport, closures and weather changes so you can just enjoy it.
