I booked our vacation thru a travel agency so they chose the company we would be using for our tour. We had a pick-up time of 7:15 and our guide Sergio and our driver were right on time. My husband's back was bothering him that morning, but he thought he would feel better once he got walking. The ride in... More

I bought a Groupon that included transfers, hotel, canyoning, ziplining, whitewater rafting & hotsprings. It was a great deal and was so easy to book by email with the staff at the Desafio Monteverde Office. I was really impressed by the staff as I know that they sold a lot of the Groupon deals and must've been very busy with... More

We went on several excursions with this company and they were great. The most memorable was Canyoneering (Rapelling) it was so much fun and everything was well organized, although I must say that the ride up to rapell was quite fun as well. The guides were very knowledgeable and lots of fun, plus all of them spoke English. The place... More

We did canyoneering (waterfall repelling) with Desafio and overall really enjoyed the experience. The nature was beautiful, everything ran according to schedule, and we had a great lunch. We also were able to purchase a DVD of all of our pictures from the day from $125. I will say that the guides- although very helpful and nice- could have done... More

Our family spent last week in Costa Rica - several days near Arenal and several days at the beach in Tamarindo. One of the highlights of our trip in Arenal was the day we spent with Desafio on the "Mambo Combo" adventure - this involved canyoneering in the morning and rafting in the afternoon. We can't say enough about the... More

I did the 2 -3 level white water rafting in April. Jacob and Paola were the guides - and were terrific! It is obvious that they both love their jobs, and they made everyone feel very comfortable and had a great sense of humor. It was a blast. I don't think the water was very high, but it did not... More
