Joining other endurance events on the Costa Rican mountain bike calendar is the El Reto de los Volcanes, the only mountain bike stage race that climbs three different volcanoes (Irazú, Barva and Poas) in three days from April 12 to 14.
The first stage starts in Cot, not far from the capital of San Jose and goes around Irazu Volcano. Stage two moves to Birri and climbs the Barva Volcano before finishing in San Pedro de Poás. The last stage heads toward the Poas Volcano, which has the widest crater in the world. The race ends back in San Pedro de Poás.
