We are a small Tour Company founded by biologists. Our passion is to share the wonder of Costa Rica in the most authentic and sustainable way possible. For the big agencies, this goal is impossible due to their size. Our small and specialized team works hard every day to fulfill this sustainability goal, this is something that for sure you are going to notice when you travel with us. See you, Pura Vida

We had an amazing tour with Cassi! She is incredibly knowledgeable and so kind, and she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. We learned so much about the local plants, wildlife, and the history of the area, far more than we expected. There was quite a bit of walking, but it was very manageable. Our group included two kids (ages 6 and 9) and four adults in their 60s . The walking was not difficult at all, and Cassi was thoughtful about the pace.

My wife and I explored Diria National Park with Marcello (Chelo) and Cassiana from Oropopo. The whole experience was fantastic! Aside from the four of us, we saw only three others in the park, one of whom was the ranger, who Chelo knew from biology classes. Chelo’s ability to spot animals was uncanny, and we saw a large family of monkeys, iguanas, and many species of birds and insects. He was quick to set up his telescope for viewing animals, and he recorded photos and videos for us looking through the scope with our phones. He also pointed out many plants and their interesting adaptations. Our second hike was to a waterfall that was maybe 80 feet tall, and we got to take a shower at the bottom and sit in the pools! Highly recommend!!

We found this adventure on Oropopo and could not have asked for a better experience. They matched us with our guide, Angel, who went out and found a few trail options where he knew we could find some interesting fungi. He provided the location the day before at a biological station which allowed for a fairly easy dive and safe parking for our rental car. After two and a half hours of exploring, we had stumbled upon so many fun discoveries. He had scoped out a few bioluminescent mushrooms for us to see on our walk, which is what we originally wanted to see, but we found loads more of biofluorescent mushrooms along the way. He provided his own lighting so we could take the coolest photos and he had so much knowledge to share about these little organisms. We found bugs and other critters too. Angel was very communicative, well prepared, and knowledgeable about everything we encountered. He was happy to answer all of our questions and made our first night hike a memorable one. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to experience the coolest nightlife that Monteverde has to offer! :)

We recently went on a rafting tour and had an absolutely amazing time! The entire adventure was filled with excitement, beautiful scenery, and just the right amount of adrenaline. The river offered a perfect mix of fun rapids and calmer stretches where we could soak in the views and enjoy the moment. Everything felt well-organized and safe, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. We laughed a lot, got splashed plenty, and came away with unforgettable memories. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this rafting tour to anyone looking for adventure, nature, and a whole lot of fun. Don’t hesitate—go for it!
