To the "end of the world" and back. My sister and I started the trip with a stay over in Buenos Aires before taking a flight to Ushuaia. Together we hiked and kayaked through Tierra del Fuego. We set foot on Cape Horn and an island inhabited only by penguins. Together, we sailed the Straits of Magellan; we learned about the history of Patagonia: the indigenous people, plants, animals, explorers, wars, politics and the people of today. We tasted foods and drank wine and beer of the region. Finally, we trekked the W circuit of Torres del Paine. A promise was made between my sister and I - that we would travel to the end of the world together. That promise was filled with our Patagonia trip. The experience of being in such a beautiful place, together, as we promised so many years ago, was unforgettable. Life is too short to miss out on all the beauty the world has to offer.
Sunday Market in San Telemo, Buenos Aires (Michele Marcigliano)The anticipation and waiting is over. Today, my sister and I leave for our Patagonia trip. We expect this trip will challenge our mind and body; and are looking forward to all the challenges. Flight time from Lax, with one stop, is almost 14 hours plus time in airports, so more like 20 hours. That just gets us to Buenos Aires.
Adventure Life does a great job of finding a booking excellent hotels, excursions and support for all your travel needs. The excursions were outstanding. We were able to see all of the places we dreamed about with great guides to enhance the visits.

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.
