We did this excusion over spring break in April and LOVED it! It was a total thrill ride!! The guides were excellent and although it was very scary at first, I felt completely safe the entire time. My kids (ages 12 and 15) loved it too. The lunch afterwards was fabulous! Renee Kent, my Pure Trek travel agent was the... More

I've never been rappelling before, but the guides were helpful and made the experience a lot of fun... My buddy was afraid of heights and skipped the tour, but after seeing the pics and videos of the rest of us going threw the waterfalls he was totally upset he skipped it.  I can't wait to go back to La Fortuna...

That is exactly what I wanted to do the minute we completed our waterfall repelling / canyoning tour!! Cynthia Crummer, the owner of Pure Trek, invites the group to come together for a great Costa Rican lunch at the Rancho, as part of the tour. Not only is the food authentic and scrumptious, the tour was one of the best... More

I LOVE this tour.... been on it at least 4 times in the past 7 years. I can't find a better way to enjoy the natural surroundings La Fortuna has to offer. Plus, if it's raining out (which it almost always is) it wont stop you from having fun... you're going to get wet anyways. The guides are very nice... More

This was an amazingly fun experience. The Pure Trek guides made me feel confident and safe and their canyoning skills showed they are real pros. This is a great activity for all ages. On my tour, there were young kids and old grey hais like myself. For a complete trip to La Fortuna, you have to try this! More

Afterwards we all went back to Pure Trek and had a delicious Costa Rican lunch! I recommend this attraction for anyone who goes to Costa Rica. It was my first time in Costa Rica,... More

Pure Trek Canyoning was the most exciting and the most rewarding experience of my life. I did four rappels, three with water falls and one canyon wall. My group had experienced athletes and me and a family with two kids. I was totally without experience and I know because of the confident encouragement and expertise as well as their professional...
