We embarked to the Spanish Virgin Islands on the Arabella. This was the most relaxing cruise we have ever had.

With just 3 free days, Cuenca has so many places to visit in short time... a great Ecuador trip experience.

8 Day trip to Costa Rica -- Osa Peninsula and Pacuare River, with transitions in San Jose.

Adventure-Life arranged an awesome tour for two of us old folk to the Galapagos, island-hopping; to the Oriente (Amazon); to Quito; to the Bosque Nublado (cloud forest). I am in awe that any company could do this complex travel at all, let alone arrange a trip with every day memorable.

Our first sight of Quito as we dropped through the clouds was of a bowl filled to the brim with lights. Quito sits high in the Andes, surrounded by mountain peaks, and the city runs right up the mountainsides.

We wanted to explore non touristic areas of Ecuador and drove south for a few days finding magical places, wonderful views, amazing people, hidden nature... look forward to going again soon!!!

The first one is a mestizo celebration and the second day is the celebration of the indian groups. This year I visited the second one... so colorful! so live! it was a great idea to go and enjoy.

I don't know where to begin.The trip was an adventure I will never forget.Taking in all the sites and new experiences while biking, hiking, camping and whitewater rafting will leave a lasting impression in my memory.

Located in northern Peru, the fortress at Kuelap ruins was built by the Chachapoyas tribe. Here you will see only a few visitors per week due to the four hour trek through the Andes to arrive at the ruins. From below, you wouldn't know what lies on the top of this ridge because it is completely invisible.

Ecocamp in Torres del Paine National Park
In this world of vanishing wilderness, we invite you to explore our remote Patagonia with the least ecological impact possible; to trek in virgin beech forests; to admire colossal calving glaciers; to think and wonder about humankind while standing at the foot of the towering granite peaks of the Torres …

I spent two weeks in the Argentinean Northwest: Salta and Jujuy!!

From June to September whales come to Ecuador for mating season. IS great to see their dances in the water. The area around is amazing, archeology, landscapes, culture, history, traditions, Panama hats, enchanted beaches, wildlife.... highly recommended.
