Another early morning- somehow I don't mind getting up when I'm not getting ready to go to work. We go for a walk on the empty beach and watch frigates, boobies, and pelicans dive. We meet up with Richard after breakfast and fill our water bottles. Then we head up to the highlands for our hike up Sierra Negra volcano. We take the horse trails up and pick/eat guava on our way. When we make it to the rim the newest lava from the last eruption is clearly visible- fog starts rolling in off the edge into the crater- we feel like we are in the clouds.
Lunch in the highlands is chicken, lentils and plantains- very simple, but very good. A walk around the little plantation offers more tastes of red bananas, oranges, and my new favorite-passion fruit. We head back to town and explore to find the post office.
Dinner is a little disappointing- they probably think we are sick of ridiculously fresh sea food and chicken- and serve us spaghetti and meat sauce. The dessert makes up for it.
Jess was very responsive and quick to address questions. She was patient when we wanted to make changes. We did check the BBB and found good reviews. We look forward to a fabulous Machu Picchu and Galapagos trip and hope to book many other trips with Adventure Life. Thank you.

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!
