Today's excursion was a drive through Torres del Paine park. We saw all kinds of animals. There were guanaco, rheas (a flightless bird), a photogenic fox, and various birds of prey including cinereous harrier, Andean condors, and buzzard-eagle and chimango caracaras. We saw a group of Chilean flamingos take flight from the lake, as well as coscoroba swans and other waterfowl. There was also a baby guanaco nursing. But no pumas were to be found. After the excursion we went back to Eco Camp. Dinner was set up at the bar for our last dinner as a group. Did I say dinner, it was a feast. In fact, dinners at Eco Camp were all so delicious. After dinner I was given a behind the scene tour of the workings of Eco Camp. I saw the rechargeable battery pack room that help run the camp, the staffs lounge where a few were playing video games, and the staff dome rooms, which are larger than the guest, but sleep more. I was able to take a peek into the kitchen and where all the magic happened for our dinners. It was time to thank the chef. The day was coming to an end and I have an early morning wake up call.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
