mom and baby sea lion3:30am - yikes! Off to the airport, but first a quick hand-off as I leave the hotel & I am thrilled with a packed breakfast of yoghurt, fruit & muffin. The sweetest couple drives me to the airport - dressed in Ecuadorean indigenous garb - & delighted that I have made my first voyage to their country. They implore me to return, to visit Cuenca, the North and the Coast. I promise them that I will.
Those last few trip moments - gift shopping at the airport, the start of a new book & nibbling on chocolate samples. But, most importantly, carrying home the glow of knowing that I have experienced the trip of a lifetime -- and all it took was the courage to do it on my own.
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.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

We loved our time aboard the Angel. Beautiful boat and crew. Naturalist Jose Luis was incredible-very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He adapted tours to our group and we all had an amazing trip. Love staying a the quaint hacienda and the recommended activities.
