Porque mis compañeros se fueron, pasé el resto de mi tiempo en Chalalán con Richard, mi guía. Hablabamos español. Pasamos todo el día en la selva. Vimos chanchos negros, pájaros amarillos que estaban comiendo con mucho ruido. Nadamos en un rio donde estaba demasiados mosquitos, pero no importa.
En la noche, después de comer el bagre que el hombre de mi canoa había atrapado el lunes, escuché a música tradicional, bailé y aprendí más de la cultura indigena que estába muy interesante.
TRANSLATION: The people with whom I had been hiking with, the only other Americans I encountered the whole time in Bolivia, left this morning. Therefore, I had the whole day alone with our guide. Hiked the whole day. Swam in a lovely river where I was practically eaten alive by mosquitoes and sand flies. Saw large black wild pigs, yellow birds that were loudly eating nuts.
That night, after eating the catfish that had been caught on the river by 1 of the men navigating our canoe to the ecolodge, listened to traditional music, danced, & learned a little more about the indigenous culture. Very interesting.
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.
