The Great Getaway Three Destinations
For the 2022 motorcycle season, three inspiring destinations provide riders with outstanding heritage motorcycling experience:
- Costa Rica, March 2022
- Portugal, April to June 2022
- USA, August to October 2022
Each tour includes eight days of riding on motorcycles from the BMW R 18 family, BMW Motorrad certified tour guides, fabulous hotel accommodations, exceptional dining, support vehicle and an extensive social program. In short: everything has been thought of.
You and your R 18 will cruise along rugged coasts, through dense forests and past mountains and waterfalls. The participants will get to know hidden places and exciting people, indulge in local and international cuisine, and recharge their batteries for the next day in accommodation specially tailored to each tour.
With a maximum of twelve participants per tour, the 100 – 125 mile / 160 – 200 km daily stages guarantee a relaxed pace on the road. There will be great fun together in the evening and an intensive shared experience on the “Urban Day”, where the participants get to immerse themselves in the melting pot of famous cities: San José in Costa Rica, Lisbon in Portugal and Portland, Oregon in the USA.
Exciting experiences await the participants at every turn: pulsating life, foreign scents, spectacular architecture, even the soundscape is never the same. After all, every city has its own rhythm. And you meet the people who make the city’s heartbeat. For example, when visiting a handcrafter or a local market.
After dinner, the day ends in a variety of ways. For example, with a whiskey tasting, cocktails “on the roof” or live music! Eight days of unforgettable riding combined with impressive experiences await the participants at every moment!
