Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!

We had the most amazing day, and owe it all to Ismael. What a soul he has, and he was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. On the way to the Nauyaca Falls tour, we learned quite a bit about life in Costa Rica as well as the history of the country. Once we were on the trail, that’s where his soul really shines through. Not only did he exhibit a vast knowledge of the local flora and fauna, but the passion and love that he has for every living being no matter how small… THAT is what made our day the MOST enjoyable. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Pura Vida!

We climbed up two waterfalls, saw fantastic foliage and wildlife, and had an adrenaline-packed journey. If you're looking for an unforgettable, high-energy adventure, this is it.
