The accommodations on our excursions are among the best Costa Rica has to offer and are in keeping with the local ambiance. Uniquely ours is an exclusive, 85-acre private reserve on the Pacuare River where we’ve established a tropical tent camp, from which our adventurers can enjoy many of our extreme activities as well as the pristine, unspoiled beauty of the surrounding hills and valleys.
In 2005, our CRE team once again represented Costa Rica at the International Rafting Federation’s World Rafting Championships in Ecuador. Captain Manuel and the team faced the best rafting teams in the world and finished a very respectable 14th, beating notable teams from Europe, Asia, Central and South America.
In August 2003, our Costa Rica Extreme Team, the 2002 Costa Rican National White-water Champions, captained by our co-founder, Manuel Segura Amador, placed 10th in the world at the World Rafting Championships in the Czech Republic. Manuel was also a member of the 2000 National team and Captain of the 2001 National team. Under his direction and leadership the Team won the 2001 Latin American Championship, placed 5th overall at the 2001 Camel Whitewater GT in Zambia, Africa and placed 7th at the 2001 World Rafting Championships in West Virginia, USA.
Manuel (or “Big Water” as he is known in the rafting community) has to his credit several first descents on some of Costa Rica’s most challenging rapids. Before establishing himself as a leading rafter, Manuel was an accomplished mountain biking athlete with several National titles under his belt.
