Overview

The Jaco King's Full-Day ATV Tour of Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages and Rivers lasts about six to seven hours. The tour starts in the mountains behind Jaco and heads roughly halfway to the mountain peak to reach Cascada del Zorro, a 35-foot waterfall where riders can stop to take photos and get wet. After this stop, the route continues through primary rainforest and climbs above the canopy to a viewpoint on the mountain range. From there, riders can see the ocean stretching south to Manuel Antonio, west to the Nicoya Peninsula, and north to the port city of Puntarenas. The tour then follows a mountain ridgeline with more rainforest scenery and views toward the mountains surrounding Playa Hermosa. After another viewpoint stop, the trail descends toward the Tulin River and arrives at a river-side lunch spot in the small rural town of Mata de Platano. After lunch, the tour climbs again through remote villages including Montelimar, Angostura, Pavona, and San Gabriel. It passes through Las Delicias, a small village known locally for ATV and motocross events. The final section travels through the mountain village of Bijagual, the last mountain pueblo on the route, before descending to a beach-side bar on the Pacific coast. Riders may rest and get refreshments there before a short two-kilometer ride along the shore to view the sunset over the Nicoya Peninsula. The tour ends back at the starting location. Included in the tour are ATV equipment rental, entrance fees to the waterfall, an authentic local lunch, and bilingual guiding in English and Spanish. Pickup service in the Jaco area is available upon request.
