One of the great ways to explore the surroundings of Santa Teresa is by renting an ATV.  The roads are dusty and bumpy so quad rentals are fun to have. As you drive your ATV, you can spot some spectacular Costa Rican flora and fauna. You can drive along the beaches and have quick dip into the ocean. You can also explore rivers cascading through the forests with self-guided  ATVs.
As you take your self-guided quad tour, you can explore the lush forests and pristine beaches.If you are a surf lover, rent a surf-board and hit the waves at this surfer’s paradise. If you are a beginner, you can take classes and get certified from the surf schools available at Santa Teresa and Malpais. Cabo Blanco reserve in Cabuya is a must visit for those who are ardent lovers of nature.
The summers at this place are remarkably dry so expect to encounter dusty roads. It gets muddy during rains. To rent a quad you will be asked for your passport, driving license and c.c for voucher. ATV rentals may cost you from $70 to $120 depending upon the rental duration and the tour agencies you are renting from. Discounts are allowed if you book it for more than four days. The vehicle can accommodate two people. To stay away from dust you will have to use a mask. The speed of 25 KM per hour is enough to drive anywhere in town as it will lift less dust.  You can drive to Manzanillo cross the Bongo river when it is low tide and have fun.
