We start the day with a tour of the ruins at Ollantaytambo. This was originally twice the size of Machu Picchu and is the site of the only major Inca victory over the invading Spanish. We get a good look at how they probably moved the big stones.
We boarded the train mid-day for Machu Picchu. Someone had gotten us the two front seats on the train with a picture window view of our trip! We dropped off our bags and headed up to the ruins. The ride on the bus was amazing with all of the hairpin turns to get to Machu Picchu.
An amazing visit at MP. We are greeted at first by thunderstorms crashing through the valley, then are rewarded by a rainbow over the city! What a place. How could they build that all the way up the mountain like that? Alpacas live among the ruins and were enjoying their meal of grass. Beautiful mountains surround and we saw where the Inca trail leads into Machu Picchu.
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.
