Note: Before heading out, pack a light backpack with water, snacks, and personal items like sunglasses, insect repellant, sunscreen, and toiletries. Since biking is an active, physical activity, always carry your medical information or emergency contact.
Here are a few trails you shouldn't miss:
Enjoy the panoramic views of Isabela.
Piñones Boardwalk
Just a few minutes from Isla Verde is the Piñones Boardwalk, a trail loved by both locals and tourists runs along the ocean views and into the mangrove forest. The path is surrounded by beach grape trees and other mangroves, providing multiple picture opportunities along the way. It is mostly flat and extends for about 6 miles into the Bosque Estatal de Piñones, where only non-motorized vehicles can enter. You can rent your bike and biking gear along the trail from places like CicloNatura, Lula's Bike Rent, Rent the Bicycle, and COPI (Cultural and Ecotouristic Center of Piñones).
The trail is easy and can be enjoyed by everyone.
Tip: During your visit, set aside some time to splash around on the beach and eat at the many restaurants and chinchorros near the boardwalk.
