Fui a las ruinas to Tiwanaku. Muy interesante. Vivieron en el año 600 antes de Jesús Cristo, antes de los Incas. Tuvieron una influencia a otros paises y civilazaciónes. La construcción de sus lugares sagrados es buenísima con piedras y rocas grandes. Nadie sabe como ellos lo hicieron.
Regresamos a La Paz, pero tuvimos que parar 2 veces para observar 2 fiestas diferentes en la calle. Había más mujeres en ropa tradicional que era muy bonita. Fuimos a la Valle de la Luna que es un lugar de geografía extraño. Parecía como la luna. Fuimos a la Iglesia de San Francisco que es muy vieja y la Plaza Murillo. La historia de La Paz es muy interesante.
No quise salir de este pais y espero que un día pueda regresar.
TRANSLATION: I went to the Tiwanaku ruins. Very interesting. They lived in 600 B.C., before the Incas. They had a significant influence on other countries & civilizations. The construction of their sacred places is beautiful, with huge rocks and stones. No one knows how they did it.
We returned to La Paz, but stopped 2 times to observe 2 different parties in the street with women dressed in traditional clothes. We went to the Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) that is a geographic wonder, which looks like the moon. Visited a very old church, la Iglesia de San Francisco & the Plaza Murillo. The history of La Paz is very interesting.
I did not want to leave Bolivia and hope to return some day.
The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
