After breakfast, we began our trek through the mountains. The hike today was about 8 miles in length and was very difficult due to the altitude. We made multiple stops to catch our breath. Even though my husband and I were are physically active and fit people, the altitude really made us weak. Our guide was more than willing to stop as often as we needed and never pushed us. This made our hike much more enjoyable, since we were able to go at our own pace.
We were able to see amazing views of the Sacred valley and the Urubamba Mountains with glacier tips. We hiked over the pass through the tops of the mountains and down the other side. On the way to Huchuy Qosqo, 'Little Cusco', we walked next to a waterfall and then over the last hill we saw the beautiful ruins and archaeological site. In the backdrop were white peaked mountains.
Our tents were already set up for us again, and they were ready for us to get freshened up and ready for lunch. After resting, we toured around the ruins, with no other visitors present. Later that evening one other group of tourists arrived and set up their campsite on a different plot of land away from ours. So it still felt like we had the place to ourselves.
Dinner was then prepared for us again later and then back to bed once it got dark, so that we could get up early with the sunrise again the next morning.
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.
