GALAPAGOS
ISLANDS, Ecuador — The dark shape darted straight at our masks,
veering away at the last possible moment. Here it came again. And again
— turning, swerving and passing us just out of reach. A sleek young
sea lion was playing with us! When we finally returned to the beach,
he followed us to the water's edge, looking wistful over losing his
playmates. To our utter delight, 500 years of human contact haven't
been long enough for the creatures of the Galapagos Islands to evolve
a fear of humans...

Even
though born and raised in Havre, Brian Morgan knows what it is like
to feel trapped by the urban environment. People want to get out of
it, he says – which is exactly why he thinks his business, Adventure
Life Journeys, is taking off.
The
next Costa Rica, some call Guatemala. And for good reason. Like its
long-popular Central American sibling to the south, Guatemala is home
to soaring volcanoes, idyllic lakes and steamy rain forests full of
monkeys, crocodiles and toucans. Unlike Costa Rica, it also harbors
some of the world's most spectacular ruins, remnants of the ancient
Mayan civilization, as well as a vibrant modern-day Mayan culture. With
the country stablizing, U.S. adventure companies such as Adventure Life
that have long offered trips to Costa Rica are beginning to add Guatemala
to their mix.
Adventure
Life. The Montana-based company is offering easy-rated trips this year
to Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala. Example: Ecuadorian Amazon,
a seven-night trip that includes a rain forest lodge stay with jungle
explorations.
"Central America is still a new destination for many Americans, however, and even in Costa Rica independent vacations can be difficult, particularly if you're driving, because of the poor roads. So tours make sense. ....various smaller tour companies have sprung up to meet the demand for more specialized trips..."
..."Itineraries in Costa Rica, Belize and Guatemala are offered by Adventure Life Journeys, based in Missoula, Mont., which specializes in trips to Latin America. A 12-day tour departing April 2 visits Guatemala during Semana Santa, the holy week before Easter, when processions and huge puppets parade along streets decorated with dyed sawdust and flowers. Visits to Chichicastenango's colorful market, Lake Atitlán and Tikal are included, along with several days in the colonial city of Antigua, where much of the pageantry is centered. The trip includes stays in comfortable hotels and lodges (with breakfasts), along with in-country transportation except the flight between Guatemala City and Flores, near Tikal. A nine-day trip in Belize (with a side trip to Tikal), includes two nights at Glover's Reef, a coral atoll, or Ambergris Caye, with snorkeling, sea kayaking or windsurfing available, then three nights at a jungle lodge inland, with excursions along the river and to a Maya ruin. Information: (800) 344-6118 or www.adventure-life.com."
"…A
travel agency with experience in adventure trips can steer you to good
boats. I found mine, the Sulidae, on line at https://www.adventure-life.com/galapagos/yachts/index.php,
which also lists plusher boats. My seven-day, nine-island trip cost
about $1,950 in a shared cabin last spring.…"
"Morgan
(Adventure Life Founder) uses a network of handpicked guides from the
villages and tries to give his customers a trip immersed in the culture!
Instead of joining a throng of Americans being bused from one tourist
hot spot to the next before retiring for evenings at Western hotels,
Schall (past client) described her tour as a busy schedule, but one
with time for exploration and discovery away from the groups."
