On our second relaxed morning at the Posada, we devoured magnificent blue corn pancakes while again gazing at the lake. While we were waiting for breakfast, D who is an excellent musician gave an impromptu concert on the hotel piano, including some of her own compositions. Prior to leaving our home, D had arranged a session with the local Mayan healer, Dolores Ratzan. While D was having an amazing morning with Dolores, I sat quietly by the lake and read. In late morning, we zoomed into town again by tuk-tuk to meet with our small group for a tour of some of the lake villages. So it was back into a fiberglass dinghy and off first to San Marcos. This New Age center had the rather nostalgic vibe of San Francisco in the 60's. Available here was all manner of alternative activities such as tarot reading, reflexology, flower remedies, etc. Next stop was San Juan which was a lovely quiet and relatively untouristed small village. A special treat here was a demonstration by a woman who belonged to a cooperative that used only natural, rather than chemical dyes. Our last stop was the more bustling San Pedro, which we reached by tuk-tuk rather than by boat. Here we had a late lunch at a hotel restaurant owned by a young Canadian woman. By late afternoon, the wind had come up considerably, so the boat ride back to the Posada was rather wet and wild. Our final night included another lovely meal as well as a visit in our cabin from a mercifully small and shy scorpion.
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.
