The Wall of Tears is a grim reminder of the penal colony that operated in times past. The rocks are of dark lava and were placed by the prisoners who, we were told, hauled them in rucksacks without benefit of shirts or shoes. The Wall of Tears seemed to have no practical purpose except as make work for the convicts and I've read that bodies of deceased prisoners were sometimes thrown into the wall as it was built. The nearby lookout point was a steep climbs wooden steps but gave an exhilarating view of the surrounding valleys. A two hour water crossing brought us back to Santa Cruz Island where a short nap was in order followed by an evening walk around Puerto Ayora for some street photography. Several local volleyball games were in progress in the town squares and seagulls and a seal standing on its hind flippers at the counter waited for scraps. Crime is evidently almost non-existent on the islands and walking alone in the towns with a camera felt quite safe.
The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
