Cajas National ParkToday we descended about 9,000 ft as we headed west from Quito, to the northern coastal province of Esmeraldas, adjacent to Colombia. We joined Betty and Marcelo for a favorite weekend getaway of theirs to Atacames. I'm glad we took a private car, as Marcelo's little BMW got us there much faster than if we had taken a public bus from Quito that makes several stops along the way.
As Marcelo accurately stated, Atacames is like a \"moving party\" on the weekends. As we drove along the malecon, there were people flooding the streets, with music blasting from each direction and people of all ages dancing and preparing to party late into the night.
It is so easy to book trips, the staff is very friendly and helpful and they respond to any and all questions

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
