We left around 9am to Pisac. On our way we saw magnificent landscapes, mountains, met a man with his two llamas. This man had a positive energy and splendid smile. We stop for a little snack. On this property there was a guinea pig “condo”, and llama.
Pisac (temple of the sun, temple of the moon and the observatory) was a very calm place. Fascinating to see all the agricultural terraces and the stonewalls’ work.
Calca was our stop for lunch at 2pm. Quiet restaurant with nice views and breezy.
Ollantaytambo was our next destination. We arrived there and the sun was starting his descending. We got time to visit the fortress named Araqama Ayllu, along with the Temple of the Sun, Puma Hall, Royal Hall, Princess Baths. Amazing and impressive views of the Inca City, the mountains and the sunset. Ollataytambo is a great city that kept his Inca taste and traditions.
After visiting the church, we enjoyed a wonderful tasty dinner. We both had Alpaca Ravioli with a creamy rose cheese sauce. Best pasta I ever ate. I also drank a coca tea (mate de coca), which was very refreshing.
We experienced the city’s festivities in the honor of the Saint Choquekillka. We saw parades of the masks, of the drunks and an all night long party. The party with music and dancing started around 5 pm and finished at 5 am.
Even if I had coca tea, I slept like a baby that night even though all the chaos happening in the city. My husband could attest to that since he did not sleep at all that night.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
