We woke this morning to a delicious home-cooked meal and then went to view the Quilotoa Volcano and Lagoon. The water was a crazy blue color, and perfectly reflected the surrounding mountains. We hiked down about half way, and then decided that we better not go all the way, since we had to hike back up and we were still feeling the effects of the altitude. We were hiking on sand and rocks, all the while looking down on the beautiful lagoon. We then drove out of Quilotoa on our way to Banos. I was blown away by the roads we were driving on the night before! They were so steep and windy, I was glad that it had been dark and foggy the night before so we didn’t have to see what we were on! Today is La Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, and we saw a whole village spending the morning in the cemetery, where they had brought their loved ones meals and gifts. The holiday is primarily a day for them to celebrate their deceased family members. It is not a day to be sad, but more of a celebration of the life they had and to give them gifts to have with them in the afterlife. We arrived to Banos and checked into our gorgeous hotel, Sumari Inn and Spa. We had lunch and then walked around Banos for a while. Betty showed us the cathedral and we got to try some sugar cane on the street. Marcelo had gone to watch soccer, and mom and I decided that we deserved a massage. After swimming in the pool with the kids, we got our massages and went to bed in our huge comfy beds.
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.
