For those looking for activity plans this weekend, they highly suggest hitting the trails.    ![DSC01362](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC01362.jpg?width=6000&height=4000&name=DSC01362.jpg)   The rainfall has also helped the soil become more compact and sturdier. During the dry season, the trails in the tropical dry forest that surrounds town receive little to no water, creating a sandy texture that can slightly fall apart with pressure. Now, after some rainfall, taking curves on a mountain bike or even trail running is much easier.     ![DSC01306](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC01306.jpg?width=5829&height=3886&name=DSC01306.jpg)   Whether you choose to step or pedal your way through the 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) of trails all around us, make sure to get out and connect with nature this weekend. Don't forget, [Pura Vida Ride](https://www.puravidaride.com/) also provides mountain bike rental services for those looking to bike the trails of Las Catalinas. ## See related posts ## [Sunday, August 11th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [In this Daily: Día de la Madre (Costa Rican Mother’s Day) and the Week Ahead](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) ## [Monday, November 18th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [In this Daily: The Pura Vida Ride Paddle Battle and the Intrepid Challenge](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) ## [Wednesday, August 28th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [In this Daily: A Look at the National Parks of Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) ## [Monday, September 23rd, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [In this Daily: The Monkeys of Guanacaste](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) #### Subscribe to The Blog, The Daily, The Newsletter, and more Additionally you will receive our occasional newsletter.
