A live guide in English or Spanish leads the ride. Minimum age is 14.

• Ride ATV through Tempate town
• Observe local animals and old houses
• Visit farm with vegetable crops
• Learn about plants and trees

The experience

You ride the ATV yourself through Potrero Guanacaste's back roads and rural areas. The route passes through Tempate, a small town where you'll see animals (squirrel monkeys, birds, water buffaloes, cows and horses), and old houses that have stood for over a century. The pace lets you stop whenever something catches your eye, take pictures and absorb the landscape at your own rhythm instead of watching it pass from a passenger seat.

The second half of the 2-hour ride takes you to a working farm where you learn about the crops and plants grown locally: vegetables, fruits and the trees that sustain the area. The guide explains what you're seeing as you move through, and the cultural layer of the ride comes from moving through a real working town and agricultural space, not a staged attraction. You can ask questions and linger where you want to.

What’s included

• The ATV and a live guide in English or Spanish for 2 hours.
