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".

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

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.
