Pura Vida! - All I have to say about this experience is just WOW! Had an amazing time on a raft exploring the wildlife in the rainforest. We saw many monkeys and sloths which was breathtaking seeing them up close in their own habitat. Bethshiva our guide was astonishing from day one she went out of her way to show us around the Airbnb we were staying at, to also making all our bookings for our trip. Would definitely Recommend her as a guide! Pura Vida Amigos!

Just thrilling, good people I met and became friends with, Betshiva is awesome! - Responsiveness, Value Betshiva was a true genuine friend in Arenal! I am traveling alone and I got referred to her by a friend. Didn’t know what to expect at 9:30PM last minute but Betshiva was responsive and even booked my rafting trip within an hour. She drove to my place and got me all set up! Betshiva, thank you so much, I had a blast rafting and hiking the hanging bridges.
