A stop at the Equator Monument outside of Quito was not in Luis's plans, but I was nuts about standing on the equator so he and Carlitos made it happen. We arrived at 4 p.m. in time to get a monument guide to take us through the outdoor exhibits on the equator and the sun, and to be delighted by equatorial science experiments. I successfully balanced the raw egg (yes, I shook it to be sure!) on the head of a nail driven into a board on the Equatorial line. I came home with a certificate to prove it! (No other tourists were successful while we were there!) Don't ask me why but being on the center of our planet has some strange attraction for me! It was a fitting last stop for our trip to the Andes Highlands.
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.
