Pure Trek is an outstanding company. The guides were fantastic and skilled at quelling the fears of three of us in our sixties. We wanted to rappel down waterfalls all day. It was a blast. And the lunch at the end of our adventure was some of the best food we had in Costa Rica. This is the company to... more

The trip is great. We went on the afternoon trek so first we ate a very tasty lunch at the base of operations. Then we took a small bus to the bottom of the mountain where the canyon was. From there we got on a 4x4 truck to get us the rest of the way up. We then got to... more

Pure Trek was recommended to us by our hotel front desk and by another couple who were also honeymooning in our same hotel. Neither of us had ever rapelled or "canyoned" before and didn't really know what to expect. We had so much fun on this trip! We were picked up at our hotel and brought to the Pure Trek... more

In 2007, we had planned a Thanksgiving trip to Costa Rica. The trip had a few highlights (you have to go river rafting!), and the Pure Trek canyoning was certainly one of those. My husband has a slight fear of heights, but we are both avd adventurers, willing to try on just about anything. When we heard about rappelling through... more

Beyond the attraction itself (five amazing rappels, four of which are waterfalls) and the friendliness and professionalism of the guides and staff, what struck us the most was the attention to detail that you could find everywhere. Even the restrooms located by the "ranchito", in the outskirts of the woods, had all sorts of feminine and aromatherapy products! Not the... more

Even if you're not a big fan of jumping off cliffs you've got to try canyoning, which Pure Trek manages to make both safe & fun. Sure you're probably a little afraid down that first rappel but by the 5th one you'll probably try to jump as far as you can. The Pure Trek guides did a great job of... more

Me, my husband, and my eleven year old daughter took this tour while in costa rica and it was one of the funnest things that we did! We always felt very safe with all the guides, they were very fun and professional at all times. We even left with the ultimate souviner, a puppy, that was in the office. The... more
