Amazon Travel Photo Collection

Quito, Sacha Lodge and the Amazon rain forest; the Galapagos

With Kassandra's knowledge of the area and our requirements and dates, We felt like our Peru trip was tailored to our exact liking and it made for a fantastic, fabulous, wonderful, exciting and culturally and educationally informative vacation. No other travel company comes close to the private, tailored trip like we experienced. With Ashley's communication and cooperation and all the necessary documents needed and received on time made for a flawless and smooth trip. Many thanks to all the staff at Adventure Life and in Peru for making this a great comfortable travel experience, your knowledge and expertise was especially appreciated.

It was a great Ecuadorian rainforest kayaking adventure trip! And we learned: that a large black garbage bag makes a great raincoat in a pinch.That you keep your toes away from streaming ants.To bring extra clothing in small dry bags so that you can go to dinner in something other than your pajamas. . .That you are ALONE when you are alone in the rainforest. And you thought you were happy on a cruise!

Swimming with pink dolphins, climbing trees, and cruising the Rio Negro in Amazonia.

Here is the ultimate South America adventure of a lifetime: a 12-day Antarctica Expedition cruise aboard the Professor Molchanov with a visit to the Ecocamp in Patagonia. To top it off - a visit to Buenos Aires and excursion to the beautiful Iguazu Falls. Are we missing anything?

Delving into the rich wildlife of the Amazon, we explore the Napo and Aguarico Rivers of Ecuador. Then it on to Sacha Lodge to experience the unique atmosphere at this ecolodge on our Ecuador tour.

My philosophy has always been that life is too short to do things you don’t enjoy, and too short to be missing out on doing things you do want to do. That is why I built my business in the way I did – so that it would free me up to do what I want to do. Our Brazil and Peru tours were interesting - but huge. Everytime we went to a new place, it was a full day’s traveling.

Each day I found myself amazed, excited, inspired, humbled, filled with a sense of wonder, or all of these! A fantastic vacation to Old City Quito, Sacha Lodge in the Amazon, Otovalo area, and the Galápagos onboard the Millenium.

We wanted to explore non touristic areas of Ecuador and drove south for a few days finding magical places, wonderful views, amazing people, hidden nature... look forward to going again soon!!!

Some photos taken on my trip to Ecuador in January 2010.
