Beagle Channel view from Tierra de Leyendas hotel (Cynthia Gillett)We arrive in the Buenos Aires International Airport after our overnight flight from Atlanta and - Hooray! - our Adventure Life local contact is waiting for us just outside customs to help us exchange currency, get a bite to eat, and then take us to the Jorge Newberry domestic airport for our flight to Ushuaia - our first destination. A brief but interesting narrated tour through Buenos Aires on the way. Mid-afternoon we arrive in Ushuaia airport (a tiny airstrip on a little peninsula - don't look down!) to be greeted once again by a friendly local guide who takes us to our hotel, the lovely small inn called Tierra de Leyendas. A little outside of downtown Ushuaia with a beautiful view of Beagle Channel, gracious and welcoming hosts (as well as the first of our many glasses of Argentine wine). After a short refreshing nap, we head downtown to a highly recommended seafood restaurant - Kaupe. It was wonderful, again with a view of the water - we saw a double rainbow from our dining table! Superb scallops and king crab and mussels and sea bass. Back to Tierra de Leyendas to sleep in a very comfortable bed with views of the Beagle Channel visible until after 11pm! The Argentine summer solstice!
This is the 5th trip Kassandra has planned for us, and if it is anything like the last four, it will be beyond perfect. Kassandra listens intently to each traveler's individual interests, and blends that information beautifully into a spectacular trip that is made to order. She is completely open to suggestions and uses her vast knowledge to enhance the experience. I am sure that as soon as we return from our latest adventure, Kassandra will be busy planning our next perfect excursion!

There was no detail left unconsidered in our South American itinerary. Our vague dream was turned into an unforgettable experience and lifelong memories. Our team of planners, guides, hosts, and excursion leaders were amazing and we were so honored to have been able to share their countries with them for a time. We would absolutely work again with Adventure Life-indeed, this was our third trip with them at the helm!

The trip was planned well. They worked through local travel planners in the two countries we visited. The trip planner was fairly knowledgeable, but she could have been better. The hotels selected were good. There were a few things I think they could have planned better related tot he transportation between the various locations we visited, but it was a great trip overall.

Mary Curry found right trip for my budget and the best date that I liked. She made
that reservation when other company's agent could not do it.
Thank you so much!
