Thanks to Samantha, our tour guide, we had a great tour!
We saw a sloth just 10 mins after leave the hotel. She is so knowledgeable and looking out for wildlife for us all the time. We saw a lot animals!
The tour itself it’s great as well. The tour only have 2 of us so end up been a private tour! The whole tour is followed by our own pace.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide went above and beyond to point out wildlife and help take pictures, and we even stopped at a few wildlife hotspots on the ride back to La Fortuna after the hike! He warned us in advance that the river wouldn't be bright blue because of the rain, but it was still a beautiful turquoise color and a really fun hike. There was a miscommunication about our pickup location in the morning, but we contacted Desafio and they helped us resolve the issue quickly. We really appreciate their flexibility and communication, and we're so glad we were able to join the tour despite the mishap in the morning! I'd rate this experience more than 5 stars if I could!

A great hiking trip in the Tenorio national park with Marco who shared his enthusiasm and knowledge about the rainforest. The waterfall is really a magical place and the secrets of the blue water are fascinating. I highly recommend this tour.

This was such an incredible tour! Our tour guide Mau, was amazing - you can tell he really loves what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is comfortable on the hike. The sights are absolutely stunning, but be ready to climb a lot!

So the water is so pretty. I wish California waters looked like this. The walk was long but beautiful. FYI, its a long long way down to see the waterfall up close. its about 200 stairs. I didnt make it down there because im afraid of heights and walking down steep stairs scares me but its still a great experience. Take good walking shoes.

Hike to Waterfall was so great. They picked us up on time and our guide Rosa was the best. She was so knowledgeable and took care of us every step of the way. Would highly recommend this excursion and if you get Rosa that is a bonus.

Had an amazing experience with Estaban, who carried a telescope the entire way and pointed out a lot of great flora (quite rainy and windy when we went, so not much wildlife to see). This forest is a great moderate-level hike (lots of steps), but I could see how it might get crowded in the high season. Gorgeous views. I was the only person who signed up and operator (Desafio) didn't cancel, which speaks highly of them. Definitely recommend.

Our guide Carlos couldn’t help the fact that it poured raining for most of our hike. He but did make it as fun as possible and gave us a lot of insight on the area. Lunch was filling and enjoyable

Really enjoyed this hike to the falls. Our tour guide, Carlos, was fun and knowledgeable. He not only taught us about what we saw on the hike, but also during the ride (explaining Costa Rica’s mountain ranges, weather, situation on the continental divide and many other things. There is a chance, due to rain, that the water won’t be blue. It was when we went, but I wouldn’t have been disappointed if it wasn’t because of the hike and Carlos’ expertise.

This was my first trip to Costa Rica with my Daughter. Our tour guide was Santos. He was exquisite. He shared the culture of the country and showed us a wonderful experience. The your itself was 4 hours, including the transportation. The company was Desafio. His hospitality and warmth were top-notch. I would give this company 10 stars if possible. After a vigorous 2 hours hike through the jungle, which was Desafio (challenging) for me, but worth it! The waterfall was amazing and we saw interesting things along the way and ended our tour with an authentic lunch, Casado / fresh fish, rice, beans, avocado, salad and fresh-squeezed guava juice. Yum. Con mucho gusto Pura Vida !!
