We did this in February of 2006. It was on e of the funnest things we've ever done in Costa Rica. The guides are fun and the Rappels are exciting. Highly recommended. Pura Vida! 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

This was one of the best adventures that I have been on! The pure trek team was very efficient, safe, and friendly. I was not sure that I would be able to follow through with the rappels, but it was so much fun I did not want it to be over. They start you off on the biggest rappel, 16... more

I'm 63 and my son is 26. We went together on the first day. My wife, 61, stayed behind because she thought it might be too hard on her wrists and hip, but we decided to go back the next day and we convinced her to join us. She had a great time. If you doubt that, then look at... more
