Super Guide Davis!

For all of you out there lucky enough to have been on one of our trips in the last 4 years you will have met one of our top guides Deivis Montenegro. We thought it would be nice to give you a quick update on Deivis as he is doing some great things when he is not guiding one of our Week of Adventures or Week of Rivers.

Deivis has represented Costa Rica in the last two world rafting championships. In 2009 he traveled with the national team to Slovakia and then at the end of 2011 the world championships were on home water on our very own Pacuare River. Deivis was an integral member of the team, being chosen to paddle in every discipline throughout the 4 day event. Costa Rica proudly finished 9th out of more than 30 international teams.

Deivis has now turned his attention to triathlons and is training 6 days a week. It is not unusual for him to have completed a 15km run before work! We have also yet to see any of our guests beat him on the uphill sections on our mountain biking day!

We love having such a fantastic athlete on our team at Costa Rica Rios. Deivis is quick to offer tips on everything from biking to paddling and he has been a guest favorite for many years with his easy going nature and love of Costa Rica. Everyone loves Deivis!

Another great Week of Adventures in progress as we speak. Today our group (all females this week!), are out rafting on the Pacuare river. The weather is great and the water levels are perfect. We don’t imagine there is a better place to be in the world right now!

10 Reasons to take a Costa Rica Guided Tour

  1. No language barrier:  All our guides and reservations staff speak excellent English (and Spanish, of course) so can help you answer any questions you might have.  They can all share a joke and a laugh as well as giving the necessary safety talks for each adventure activity.
  2. Airport pick-ups:  Sometimes the most difficult thing to negotiate when coming to a foreign country is how to get from the airport to the city center.  Our Costa Rica adventure tour guides will meet you right outside the terminal and whisk you away in the luxury of private transport without you having to wonder if they are going to the right place for the right price.
  3. Local guides with in-depth knowledge of all things Costa Rican; culture, history, flora, fauna and much more.  Our guides will take you off the beaten path and show you the real Costa Rica, help you enjoy the local cuisine and will share their love for this beautiful country.
  4. All inclusive:  Ground transportation by private buses, all accommodations, meals, activities, equipment, entrance fees, and bilingual guides are all included in our Costa Rica Guided Tours.  You just have to get on one of our Costa Rica trips to start the adventure!
  5. Exciting adventures:  Our highly trained guides control all our adventure activities in a safe and friendly environment.  You won’t have to reach into your pockets every time there is an adventure to be had as they are all included in our packages.  Zipline, Canopy, Whitewater Raft, Mountain Bike Volcanoes, Jungle Stay, Surf, Snorkel, Whitewater Kayak, Whitewater Canoe, Wildlife and more.
  6. Unique accommodations:  Being based in Costa Rica helps us keep on top of which hotels are the best to use and which have similar eco-friendly practices for sustainable tourism in Costa Rica.
  7. Meet other travelers:  Join a group tour and meet other like minded adventurous people, share the experiences and make new friends.
  8. Save time:  By choosing a Costa Rica guided tour with Costa Rica Rios, all the necessary arrangements are made for you.  You will not have to spend any of your vacation time planning each day, figuring out where to stay, what to eat or which activities you have time for.  Its already done for you.
  9. Wildlife: Ever seen a sloth in its natural habitat?  On our Week of Adventures tour in Costa Rica you are almost guaranteed to see sloths, monkeys and other exotic creatures and birds in the wild.  Our guides will be able to spot the animals even when they are mostly hidden from plain sight and will be able to give you more information about each species.  Our other tours are also rich in wildlife, so keep your eyes open.
  10. Food:  Each day you will be delighted by the fresh tropical fruit and vegetables, prepared by our chef and guides.  We try to only use seasonal, local produce purchased in our local markets.  You will be served up an appetizing array of local flavors, freshly prepared for each meal.
