I bought my whole Costa Rican vacations with Desafío. I spent 9 days in Costa Rica visiting La Fortuna, Monteverde and Sámara beach. Desafío arranged everything, from hotels, transportation and on-site activities for me. Greg (the sales person) was very receptive of our needs, and proposed different activities and hotel alternatives, he was very fast responding my emails and very... more

Great vacation with our 10 and 12 year old kids. White water rafting, canyoneering, and hiking in the volcano region. All of the guides with Desafio were just incredible. They told us about the area, the animals, the trees and made sure that the kids were having a great time. Safety always came first, these guides love what they do... more

The whole crew made our white water rafting trip a fun adventure. Our raft had our family of 4 (2 teens) and a guide. He skillfully got us through the rapids and was playful (swinging on ropes and jumping out of our raft when it was calm) . He and the kayaker were very social - chatting with us in... more

We went canyoning with Desafio last month and thought it was one of the best activities in all of Costa Rica. Having tried Pure Trek Canyoning a couple years back, we decided to try Desafio on our last trip so that we could compare and contrast the two. We are very glad that we did, as we ended up liking... more

We just got back from a great trip to Costa Rica. We bought the 4 day Monteverde/Arenal package through Desafio and could not have been more pleased with the whole experience. We changed the package a little to accomodate what we wanted to do, and they were very flexible with our changes. We booked everything, including transportation, tours, and hotels... more

My friend and I did a private canyoneering tour with Desafio and it was absolutely amazing. We hiked and rapelled down a waterfall. What an adrenalin rush! This tour made the ziplining tour seem tame. You would be doing yourself a huge disservice if you missed out on this tour. This was the best tour I've been on in my... more

The day before going on this canyoning trip, I had a bad accident while zip lining. I thought I was done with the adventure, but I had been looking forward to trying this. I am so glad I did. While it was one of the scariest things I have ever done in my life, it was also one of the... more

We did the white water rafting and canyoneering trips with Desafio. Our guides were fantastic, very friendly and lots of fun in our adventures. Even the drivers were great. Our driver pulled over to point out a sloth! The equipment was in good shape and we felt very safe in all our adventures. All in our group agreed that canyoneering... more

My husband and I booked 2 tours with Desafio on our honeymoon in Costa Rica last week. We did the Rio Balsa whitewater rafting tour and The Lost Canyon Adventure canyoneering tour. I have to say that this company is AWESOME! All of the guides are very friendly and they make sure that everybody has so much fun. They all... more

The rafting trip on the Rio Balsa was great fun! My fiance & I had never been rafting before so we were a little nervous. The tour guides, Brian and Carlos, were very knowledgeable, funny and made us feel very safe. The safety kayak person, Rocky, was great too. He took my water camera with him and took pictures of... more
