My family, all ladies, went rafting on the Rio Balsa with Desafio, and Fabio as our guide. There were four of us in the raft, but there was large group along with us, about 3 or 4 other rafts with 6 people + the guide in them. My sister and I had been rafting before several times, usually Class 3-5... More

We went Canyoneering with Desafio and we could not be more pleased! The guides were professional and FUN! They made the trip safe and memorable. And they followed up with an email regarding photographs etc! Most adventure companies do not go to that extent. Unfortunately the water levels were not high for canyoneering, so the waterfalls were not the best,... More

Really enjoyed the Rio Balsa half-day rafting tour. This is a good and fun ride for beginners. Make sure you eat a late breakfast because you are not served lunch until around 3-4 p.m. (after you have finished rafting). You do stop midway through for a snack of pineapple and watermelon. We saw a three-toed sloth, howler monkeys, and several... More

Just got back from using a Groupon for a 3 night, 4 day adventure in Costa Rica with Desafio, specifically in La Fortuna. The white water rafting was the best - our guide Luis was awesome and fun and told us much about the river and land while we were rafting. The ziplining was the next best thing, we got... More

We had a great trip to La Fortuna in Costa Rica through a Groupon deal with Desafio. This company is first rate all the way. We went whitewater rafting, canyoneering and ziplining in two days. The guides were fanstastic and the arrangements for our hotel and transportation were flawless. I highly recommend this group to anyone planning a trip to... More

Diaz our guide on the bus was very... More

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
