What an amazing time! Chuy was a fantastic guide and kept us safe as well as laughing the whole time. Can’t wait to go again. Every guide we encountered with Tenorio was great and they are a great company to tour with.

This was an experience of a lifetime. A thrill-seeking, edge of your seat adventure - one we will talk about for years to come. We had 12 people total, 3 boats of 3 with a guide for each of us. The guides did a great job of keeping us safe while also make it so fun and entertaining. Luis, the leader, was incredible! They allowed us to pause along the rafting to jump in a waterfall. In addition to the adventure, they provided great transportation to and from the activity as well as a homemade lunch served by our rafting guides. It was an experience we will never forget. Could not recommend this more!
