Arenal Volcano: Epicenter of Adventure in Costa Rica The Arenal Volcano wasn't even on the tourist maps back in 1992 when intrepid raft guide and avid kayaker Suresh Krishnan started exploring the rivers and canyons of the Arenal Volcano region. Due in part to Krishnan's perseverance, vision and hard work, La Fortuna has become the hotspot for adventure tourism and now Costa Rica is ranked in the top three of adventure tourism destinations in the world. "We are right at the epicenter of adventure", Krishnan said. His company's motto is "Experience Water Like Never Before!" Krishnan likes to brag a little about the Arenal Volcano area, pointing out "There are more paddling options in the Arenal Area than anywhere else in Central America." It'€™s true, even if you'€™re short on time, you can pack in a lot of action because we have everything close by, from rafting, canyoneering, SUP, kayaking and much more. "The Challenge" of Desafio Adventure Company: The word "Desafio" means challenge, so it is our "Desafio" to continue to keep our business on the cutting edge of adventure and sustainable tourism. We do so by maintaining the highest level of safety in all of our operations with a minimum impact on our natural environment and try to exceed our client expectations by making sure everyone has "Serious Fun!" Many companies have commended us on our employment policies at Desafio Adventure Company. Our policy is to have all of our employees on the payroll full time, with all of the appropriate government-required benefits, etc. This helps guarantee that our employees will not try to risk running a high, dangerous river because they only get paid if they run a trip. Our guides can make a more-rational decision because they get paid whether they run a trip or not. In addition, in case of high water for rafting, the great thing about booking with Desafio is that you can easily switch to another activity, such as canyonering, etc. In addition, we were selected by the Costa Rican government to train adventure guides, and are proud that our guides have their tourism-certifications and first aid and CPR training. In addition, our company administrative mantra is: "We do things right the first time, efficiently and in as little time as possible," for that reason, many high-level tour companies and hotels like to book with us.
