This was a day of easy hikes and new areas in the park to see. A few miles of gentle hiking took us past guanacos grazing among the low vegetation. A few were doing (wink) what guanacos do. Our high point was a rocky mesa with views across to the now familiar peaks. There were pictographs from ancient inhabitants below ledges at its base. A condor buzzed by our heads as we stood atop the mesa. Before the day was done our wildlife encounters would include rheas, ibises and more condors.
Another high point was Cascada Paine, a wide powerful waterfall that would be incredible even without the Torres to lend a backdrop. At Lago Azul there was an opportunity for our cameras to capture one of the most iconic views of the Torres.
Back at EcoCamp for the last night we all lingered after dinner reflecting on our week together, our new memories and friendships, before going our separate ways the next morning.
I should not fail to mention the staff and facilities at EcoCamp. The food was outstanding and interesting. Considering the remoteness it is quite an operation. Their commitment to environmentally low-profile tourism is very commendable.
We were referred by a satisfied client and the booking of the trip was everything we wanted to do, and they listened to the types of hotels, sightseeing, etc. we wanted to do.

Rapa Nui was on my bucket list for a long time so I worried that it would not meet my expectations. Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was knowledgeable and professional with an understanding of the island that made it come alive. I would and have recommended this trip to everyone that will listen.

Mary Curry is the BEST! I have worked with her for multiple family trips for over 10 years, and she is responsive, works within your preferences and budget, has great suggestions and has personal travel experience at many of the locations. We prefer active family vacations and Adventure Life and Mary Curry make sure that is what we get!

My tour operator was helpful. Unfortunately she was unable to get my single-supplement canceled. Not too many tours charge for that anymore and I almost canceled my trip because of that.

Excellent communication and coordination for our proposed trip. It couldn't have been smoother, and any question we did have was rapidly addressed. It has made the whole process nearly seamless.
