Awakening with the tops of of 19,000 mountains peering out through the clouds was really incredible. It was like waking up into a dream. The horses that had carried our belongings and camping gear were happily munching unbeknownst to them that they were surrounded by awe inspiring landscape that was worth traveling across the world for.
After we had another great meal cooked by Mario the march down began. It seemed so much longer going down than it did coming up even though we only had about half the distance to cover. The teeny tiny town below was as big as it looks from an airplane and stayed that size for a long time as we descended into Lamay where I would take a little siesta in a field. From there Aurelio drove us to the train station where we traveled to the town of Machu Picchu.
By far our favorite hotel was the El Mapi Hotel in the town of Machu Picchu. They had a bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us in our hotel room to celebrate our new marriage. It was fun to be pampered after camping for two nights. The dinner that was included with our stay was also really scrumptious, we were spoiled silly!
Erin is great to work with on our adventure to Antartica. She gave us great choices and is very knowledgeable about the options. Her recommendations saved us from making some big mistakes.

Adventure Life kept me well informed and up to date in the lead up to my trip and Albatros delivered a once in a lifetime adventure in full. A totally awesome experience from start to finish.

Jane Packer helped us through the cancellation of our trip due to American Queen Voyages bankruptcy and then finding another cruise with American Cruise Lines.
Jane is very prompt in response, answers any questions, and makes good suggestions thereby making the process much easier!

Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.

Kassandra rocks! She had our trip planned and helped us arrange our air travel within the day we contacted her. She has helped us with our trips to Chile Argentina and Costa Rica, and she always finds us wonderful activities and accommodations. We’re looking forward to seeing what she’s planning for us this time when we go to Easter island
