Race Trail of San Juan Howler

Mountain bike event - What exactly is so fascinating to bikers about the San Juan Howler Race Trail? Once in San Juan del Sur, a quaint coastal community on the Pacific coast, bikers head uphill. At good speed. Between trails full of hairpin turns to riding up hills into refreshing mountainous forest regions (also known as monta?s) Few experiences can match mountain biking in Nicaragua.

Billy Molina is a name that many people may recognize. Prior to setting up residency in Nicaragua 14 year ago he was a professional US bike racer, says that it is jaw dropping. "Howler's course delivers a wide variety of obstacles. Everything is made naturally. This really does qualify as off-road excitement. The distance of only a few kilometers brings you through vastly differing terrains, like sea-level lowlands and high mountains. Along the trail, you will experience howler monkeys swinging through the trees, many-colored crabs zipping across the lowlands, and brightly colored birds flying overhead. Mother Nature's beauty will astound you! " chuckles Billy.

Howler Monkey Moniker

Howling monkeys are unheard of to most, but they win the title of the loudest land animal. (Just whales are noiser.) At both sunrise and sunset, the males emit surreal noises and grunt, howl, and cackle. Keep in mind you can speed by them while on a mountain bike. Howlers are natural "tree potatoes", because they literally hang from trees by their tails. In the howler monkey world, napping consumes 19 out of every 24 hours.

The stunning beauty of Nicaragua's eco-environment is enhanced by gorgeous views of the sea and mountains, and the Howler trail celebrates all three. Billy affectionately calls "Land of Lake and Volcanoes". He said, "Once people visit, the unimaginable beauty is lodged in their memories like scenes from a scene fiction movie.
