This trip was a lot of firsts for me. First time in South America, first time traveling with my boyfriend (Tim), first time traveling with my brother (Bryan) and his wife (Bridget), and first time using Adventure Life. Before leaving California, I had diligently read the ''Departure Information for the Machu Picchu Pilgrimage'' and ''Preparing for Your Trip to Peru'' provided by Adventure Life. I also partook in the recommending reading of ''Lost City of the Incas'' which I'll admit I never actually finished. After 22 months, Tim was released from physical therapy in December and in January we started doing weekly adventure hikes with his dogs in training for our Inca Trail Trek. Although I couldn't truly know what was in store, as our flight was departing, I felt that I was as prepared as I was going to get and was more excited than I've ever been. Our flight from California took us to Dallas, and from there we flew what felt like a very short 7 hours direct to Lima arriving, as many international flights do, after midnight. We had no problems in customs, getting our luggage or finding our arranged driver who took us straight to our hotel in Mira Flores. The most memorable part of the drive through Lima at 2 AM was seeing a bunch of people playing an organized soccer game but we were also surprised to see so many casinos scattered throughout the city.
The travel specialists we've worked with for 2 vacations have made the trip planning process easy! They ask good questions to ensure they understand our goals and likes and have done an excellent job matching adventures with our preferences - even suggesting things we would not have thought about on our own!

A Mind Blowing Adventure!
Adventure Life kept me well informed and up to date in the lead up to my trip and Albatros delivered a once in a lifetime adventure in full. A totally awesome experience from start to finish.

Jane Packer helped us through the cancellation of our trip due to American Queen Voyages bankruptcy and then finding another cruise with American Cruise Lines.
Jane is very prompt in response, answers any questions, and makes good suggestions thereby making the process much easier!

Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.
