Another early morning wake up to catch a flight to Juliaca. Cross back over the street to check in with Star Peru. Lima airport is a nice airport with shops and some resturants. The regional terminal is packed with excited faces heading off to different adventures in Peru! Not a whole lot of English translation on the plane, didn't realize the plane had a stop over in Arequipa. I think I spied a glance at Colca Canyon. Looked like some cool geology. And then possibly the best part of the trip... we flew over a volcano! It was smoking/steaming. It was the coolest thing ever! Land in Juliace and immediately hear the Peruvian flute music. There is a group playing as we get our bags. We met Hazel and our driver outside the tiny airport and we are off to Puno! The drive was nice, if felt like I was back in Montana, jus a lot more llamas than cattle. Made it to our hotel, Q'elqatani, and it wasn't until we hit the 4 flights of stairs to get to our room, did we realize the altitude effecting us. We dropped our bags and passed out on the bed. After a nap and some coca tea, we venture out to find food and check out the city. I honest like Puno, is a working class city and not super touristy. We found a nice little restaurant on a little touristy strip, just around the corner from the hotel. After some food and Peruvian beer in our bellies we head back to the hotel for an early night.
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.
