We leave the hotel early this morning en route to Cajas National Park. My mom and I are big hikers and fans of the outdoors, so we can't wait to get on a trail. This also happens to be the one day that it rains in the Cuenca area. Of course! Cajas is a special place. It's known as the "land of the lakes." Located about 30 minutes outside of Cuenca, Cajas is home to 275 lakes. The scenery is reminiscent of the Scottish highlands, rough and rugged, with lichens and tiny flowers lining the trail. We decide to take a trail that rings one of the larger lakes in the park. The rain begins to fall as we are halfway around the lake. It occurs to me that we are hiking during the month of February. What did I expect? At the end of our hike, we're soaking wet, but tired and happy. I wish that we had several more days to explore Cajas and plan on coming back again in the future!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
