‘Welcome to paradise!’
Rally Touring in a paradise of flora and fauna that takes your breath away!

The Central American country of Costa Rica lies between the Caribbean and the Pacific and offers a wealth of natural beauty and a diverse and unique tropical flora and fauna in a very small area. We explore all this in ‘La Carrera Costa Rica’, one of our classic rally touring journeys, a 10/11-day round trip at its best.

The tour price already includes:
Excursion in private charter plane with sightseeing flight 420 km -> Volcanoes Póas and Arenal, Lake Arenal, Monteverde, Gulf of Nicoya, the islands of San Lucas and Tortuga, Santiago.
In addition, a tour with a private charter boat on the Golfo Dulce to the Mogos Islands. With luck, we will see dolphins, sea turtles, sailfish and rays. With a little more luck, humpback whales too. Also included in the tour price.


Smoking volcanoes, steaming cloud and rainforests, waterfalls and lakes as well as pristine sandy beaches on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts make Costa Rica a paradise for nature lovers. The country is one of the most advanced and safest in Central America. For this reason, it is also known as the “Switzerland of Central America”.
We look forward to showing you the most beautiful landscapes on our classic rally vacations.

Classic rally touring – 100% south of boredom

Throughout the rally tour, you will be accompanied by your personal rally leader in a service vehicle. The focus is clearly on luxury with relaxed schedules, comfortable speeds, plenty of time for sightseeing and socializing with old and new friends, all in the best hotels and lodges Costa Rica has to offer.

You don’t need any special equipment on our classic car tours. No tricky map work, no night driving. You also don’t need competition licenses, helmets or special suits.


Due to the climatic conditions in Central America, the Costa Rica rally touring is perfect for driving from December to September.
It differs from “normal” rallies and is limited to 3 or 4 vehicles (plus service and luggage van, usually a Range Rover Classic). This comfortable group size allows us to offer our classic car tours on different dates. So you can choose a date that fits perfectly into your schedule.

La Carrera Costa Rica usually starts every 1st Friday from February to December.
We do not travel in October and November.

We also sometimes travel on dates in between. Just ask us.


Our personal hideaway Equis I with a view over the entire central valley and the lively capital San José is the perfect starting point for each of the rally touring rallies.
In addition to our Equis I, we only use one very beautiful, small lodge on the Osa Peninsula on this rally touring trip.

That means for you:

  • NO daily luggage packing and/or lugging.
  • We only drive to the ‘next’ hotel twice. In this case from Equis to Kunken Lodge and vice versa.
    On all other days you can – if you wish – not drive at all, e.g. to take part in other activities. Or simply to relax.

    We call this maximum flexibility and our customers love it.
