After a great night sleep, the alarm clock went off at 5:30 a.m. Packed our day bag with water bottles (that were given to us), sun screen, insect repellent (a must to have at all time), and a hat. Buffet-Breakfast at 6:30 a.m. and we were good to go at 7:00 a.m. along with two other guests and our guide/driver. Our first stop was ''Cahal Pech'' meaning ''the place of the thicks''. Cahal Pech is a very nice area to visit and explore. Climbing the pyramid was a great way to understand the way Mayans used to live. After a break for lunch (rice, veggies, sandwiches, salad and cookies), we were heading to the famous Mayan site: ''Xunantunich'' pronounced (Shu-nan-tu-nich); which means Stone Maiden. After crossing the river on the ''ferry'' which consist of a floating platform that usually carries one car from one shore to the other and it is hand-powered. Xunantunich is wider and bigger than the previous area visited, but also a wonderful place to explore and investigate to learn more about Mayans' history. The site was very peaceful and welcoming. The pyramid has a few replicas of hieroglyphs giving a glimpse of the majesty of its past. From the top of the pyramid we could see the border of Belize and Guatemala . . . the place we will be heading in couple days, but for that moment we enjoyed the grandeur of the view of the jungle, the city and the ruins. We were back at the hotel by 4:30 p.m.
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.
