La Yegua Loca is an exciting dream to rescue and show the Patagonian identity of the old estancias at the end of the world. With a dose of madness, we restored a house from 1929 in the city of Punta Arenas and turned it into a boutique hotel with a thematic restaurant, where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego. Here live the recondite places of Magellan and the adventurers who immigrated in an inclement era, where they only came laden with dreams and managed to cross all the barriers of distance, cold and wind to forge our history.
Its 15 rooms are a homage to the old trades and traditions rooted in the Chilean Patagonia: The Coachman, The Estable, The Braider, The Orchard, The Milkmen, The Blacksmith, The Carpenter and The Shearing Shed. All of them have antiques typical of offices and places of stay, showing them in an innovative way to surprise and bring customers to their history.
La Cocina de la Nonna Restaurant, set in the purest Patagonian style of cuisine, where Croatian and typical regional recipes such as the Sunda of Centolla, the Lamb Garrón, the Croatian Ñoquis or the Grilled Octopus have been rescued and where you can enjoy exquisite desserts like Creme Brulee, Roasted Milk, Chocolate Brownie or its famous Cheesecake.
Finally, its Bar, a faithful reflection of the old Patagonian pulperías, is the perfect place to have an aperitif before lunch or dinner, and to be able to buy products made by artisans of the region. Among the recommended drinks, the renowned Potro Sour and the Ruibarbito. Drinks can be accompanied by their "Tablas to share".

The holiday of a lifetime. The company is Alaksa-owned and thhat makes a big difference to the experineces you get i.e. meet genuine First Nations tribes people. The amount of wildlife was beyond my expectation, and seeing everything on sucha small, intimate boat made it even more spoecial and unique.

Adventure Life covered all the details in planning our trip to Ireland. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Any trip glitches, which always happen when traveling, were resolved immediately. There were no worries, just fun!

It was an outstanding, up-close, educational vacation of nature, culture, history, animals and geology! It was everything they promised! Binoculars were plentiful on the boat, but I'm glad I brought my own. Food was excellent. Rooms had black-out shades. Pack/wear multiple layers of clothing (I carried a small backpack when off the ship). Crew were delightful and very accommodating! Remember to jump FEET FIRST first when taking the optional polar plunge! Spend as much time outdoors as you are able and ENJOY!!!

Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.
