The next morning, we had a nice breakfast at the hotel. The dining room was buzzing with what appeared to be a fresh group of tourists anxious to embark on their journeys through Peru.
It was frustrating to find out that although we purchased our tickets six months in advance and arrived at the airport two and a half hours ahead for check in, the flight had been overbooked! Instead of flying home via El Salvador, we were booked on a flight to Costa Rica which connected to another flight to El Salvador which finally connected with a flight back to Los Angeles. This increased our travel time by about 5 hours. The only good thing that came out of this was that we flew first class to Costa Rica.
While in the duty free shops in Lima, my wife bought a large package of coca tea which she planned to give to a friend of hers. While passing through customs in Los Angeles, we discovered that coca products are strictly forbidden in the United States. Although I was made to feel like a drug mule, I had to believe that the customs officers see this all the time as the product is sold in all the duty free shops. The “contraband” was confiscated and we were given a stern warning. Come on guys! Its only tea!
As we resume our busy lives back in Los Angeles, we are still digesting all of the wonderful experiences we had on our trip. Peru is a wonderful country with a rich heritage. The people are friendly and the food is fabulous. The geography is harsh yet awe inspiring. Once again, Adventure Life has delivered!
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

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.
