Small-group kayak instruction, whitewater expeditions and family adventures led by local experts.
Andrey Coto grew up in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica, surrounded by rainforest and some of the country’s most beautiful rivers. For more than two decades, he has dedicated his life to kayaking, guiding, instruction, expeditions and international competition. His approach combines professional instruction, local river knowledge and a deep respect for nature.
Andrey founded Jaguar Kayak Academy to give visitors an authentic and personal way to experience Costa Rica while creating new opportunities for local youth.
