This day we investigated the center of city, saw the monument, the widest street in the world, Ricoletto church and other well-known sights of Buenos Aires. After that we decided to return to the hotel on foot. According my gps navigator we were about three kilometers from it. On the way we had seen a small cozy restaurant and realized we are hungry. We came in and sat down. The waiter gave us a menu, but it was in Spanish. She also didn't speak English, and our Spanish was restricted by a few words. This situation reminded me of an old joke about foreigners in a Spanish restaurant. They wanted to get some milk, but couldn't explain it. At last one of them drew a cow. The waiter understood and he brought them tickets to a bullfight.
We were more happy, because we found a picture of salad on the menu. I also remembered the word ''pescado'', and my wife said something, which was close enough to ''bread'' in Spanish. As a result we got a lot of bread and two big and tasty salads from fresh vegetables with a good fish.
I need to say here a few words about the sky. It had a special color, not the same as in Europe, and the clouds were very interesting. We watched those two days, and they showed us many different pictures. At last they create an arrow, directed to the south. It was a sign for us to move there.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
