Long day today! We traveled from Antigua to Rio Dulce in a shuttle and then a first class bus. We watched movies (in Spanish/English) and napped along the way. When we arrived in Rio Dulce Town we were met by someone to take us to the Hacienda Tijax, our bungalow across the river. The Rio Dulce area is in eastern Guatemala, close to the Caribbean. The river runs out to the Caribbean Sea on one side, and feeds into Lake Izabal on the other. This is the largest lake in Guatemala. This area is hotter than the highlands, and you are really in the jungle here! There are mangroves, coconuts, turtles, birds, mosquitoes…Our bed had a mosquito net, so we didn’t have a problem with the mosquitoes in the room at all. When we went out though, I made sure I was covered in bug spray! Our bungalow was nice but very simple. The restaurant was good as well, and while you eat, you sit right over the river. If you’d like, you can take a canopy tour or take kayaks out on the river. There’s also a pool at the Hacienda, which is nice for cooling off after a hot day!
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.
