Guanacaste
Mountain bikE adventureS in the “desert” of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste province
We turned off the paved Inter-American Highway as the sun started to rise over the dry season “desert” of Guanacaste, though the fiery orb was still not visible in the far horizon. It was a few minutes before 6:00 in the morning, and we were pedaling away from the small city of Liberia, Costa Rica in the eastward direction of Rincon de La Vieja National Park. The surface below the knobby tires was primitive campo road mix of dirt, sand and stone. The sky above us was clear of clouds as the day’s first light cast upon it. Sleep was still hanging in my eyes, and my legs were a little tight from the previous evening’s ride.
