We spent our first full excursion day at Remota Lodge (out of Puerto Natales) exploring nearby Torres del Paine National Park.They call this excursion the "photo safari" for good reason! We were whisked away to so many corners of the park to hit as many of those picture-perfect views as possible. I was content to have someone else navigating the roads so I could stare out the window and take it all in. It really is a massive park and I know we just scratched the surface in this short time. Knowing that the rest of our week would mostly be consumed with fly fishing (by choice!), this was a great start to the week and a nice way to balance out the activities a bit. After all, you can't travel all the way down to this part of the world without stepping foot in Torres del Paine National Park - it's iconic for a reason!
Here are just a few of the best views of the day:
And of course, in typical Remota fashion (meaning excellent food & service), we were treated to a stunning lunch spread at one of the campgrounds in the park. Bon appetit!
I'll be the first to admit that my husband and I aren't avid hikers - it's just not our thing! So, while Remota offers the more rigorous hiking excursions to clock 8+ miles in a day for some of the iconic trails in the park, this photo safari was right up our alley. We saw so much in just a day, and were perfectly happy being driven from site to site. A great start to the week!
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.
