 Costa Rica Biking Adventure
Located: in
San José, at Miraflores suburb (Guadalupe)
Description: Salimos de San
José hacia Ciudad Colón donde empezaremos nuestro
recorrido en bicicleta a partir de la iglesia. De la iglesia nos
dirigimos sobre calle asfaltada pero con escaso tráfico
hacia la Universidad para la Paz. Este trecho de ruta es entre
vegetación de un bosque de transición en el que
podemos apreciar árboles que pertenecen al bosque seco como
el espavel. Esto a pesar de estar a solo unos pocos kilómetros
de San José. Siguiendo esta ruta nos encontramos con una
intersección entre el asfalto y la tierra. Nosotros tomamos
esta de tierra, la cual está en muy buenas condiciones y es
cuesta abajo aunque no muy pronunciada pero por un trecho de 12½
kilómetros hasta llegar a un puente con estructura de
aluminio en donde el sentido de la cuesta cambia de descendente a
ascendente. Este
segundo segmento es para personas con cierta condición
física, no por ser un camino malo sino por lo inclinado de
la pendiente. En este igual que en otros tours, nuestro vehículo
de apoyo le seguirá todo el tiempo para asistirle con
líquidos hidratantes, nueces y descanso si fuere necesario.
El escenario es de bosque de transición a lo largo de toda
la ruta. Llegamos al pueblo de La Guácima en donde
finalizamos la ruta para proceder a almorzar en el pueblo.
