Costa Rica Extreme
Established in early 2002, Costa Rica
Extreme, S.A. is an in-country, adventure excursion company whose
primary emphasis is providing highly personalized, athletic and
extremely exciting expeditions in our beautiful country. We offer our
adventure clients a variety of unique experiences, not the least of
which is the opportunity to participate in extreme sporting activities
accompanied by world-class athletes as guides. Though our company is
young, we are innovative and our staff includes some of the best, most
experienced and knowledgeable guides in Costa Rica.
White-water rafting, camping, jungle excursions, mountain biking, canopy
tours, sea kayaking, bungee jumping and horseback riding are just some
of the many activities offered on our all-inclusive fixed date
multisport excursions and our 1 to 3-day activity specific excursions.
Upon your arrival in our vibrant country, you will be engaged in an
assortment of the most invigorating experiences in Costa Rica.
The accommodations on our excursions are among the best Costa Rica has
to offer and are in keeping with the local ambience. 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. This major victory affirmed our
status as the premier rafters in Costa Rica. 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. 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.
In addition to our rafting feats, in September 2002 another of our teams
won the demanding Nicoya Adventure Race, beating fifteen other teams
from all over Central and South America. This grueling overnight race
consisted of sea kayaking, mountain biking, jungle navigation and
hiking.
Our team of expert guides includes several other members of the National
Whitewater Team, a member of the Swiss Rodeo Kayaking Team and some of
the most experienced and best naturalists in Costa Rica. We have led
successful excursions on several continents including South America,
Europe, North America and Africa. All of our excursion personnel are CPR
and Swift Water Rescue certified.
