On Nov. 7th 2009, my friend and I went on a canyoneering trip with Desafio. We did not know what to expect but what we got was an awesome time!! The guides Hernan and Marvin were super fun and made you feel safe! There were lots of jokes, good instruction, and all around light hearted fun! I would say this... more

November 1-3: Awesome time!!! Thanks Desafio for making it a very memorable trip for us. We booked the zip line and canyoneering with the company and the experience was nothing less than great. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and we felt very safe in both activities. My friend started to get a little scared on one of the waterfall descents... more

I just travelled to CR in early November 2009 and had the option of spending 2 days in Arenal. I'm SO glad we decided to venture up to La Fortuna and experience Desafio's repelling trip. Hanging from a rope and gliding down 200 waterfalls was probably the most memorable moment of my whole trip to CR!! Not to mention that... more

Our recent Costa Rica (Arenal) adventure 11/5/09 through 11/9/09 was the most incredible experience of our lives. We fit in so many activities in so little time. We booked all of our adventures through Desafio and in a word all I can say is "OUTSTANDING". We went White Water Rafting Rio Toro, Canyoneering, Paraiso Zip Line Canopy Tour, Hanging Bridges,... more

You have to go Canyoning with this company! It's an amazing experience that you will never forget. As soon as the tour was over we wanted to start all over again. more

This was by far the most thrilling trip on our honeymoon. There were 5 different rappels with 2 of them being well over 100 ft. In between rappels we had to navigate through rocks, creeks and mini-waterfalls. It did require physical effort which added to the enjoyment. If you do the rappels, I highly recommend speeding down one of the... more

The staff at Desafio are the best I have ever come into contact with on a vacation. They are all funny, kind, good natured people. This company was by far the highlight of my Costa Rica vacation. I would recommend this company to everyone. more
