From our hotel we went to the main square where the buses to Machu Picchu lined up to shuttle travelers up to the ruins. We hopped on a bus and it filled up quickly and was off! Swtich backs up and up to the ruins.
What can you really say about the ruins? They are amazing, perched up on the side of a mountain. We have a perfect blue bird day. We toured the ruins and learn so much about the people that lived here and have questions about how and why they disappeared.
I became obsessed with the Temple of the Sun, and couldn't stop taking photos of it and looking for it from all the different points in the ruins.
We decided to hike up to Montana Machu Picchu, the higher peak above the ruins (opposite from Huayna Picchu). So we walked up and up and up, stepped up steps, huffed and puffed until we were perched above the ruins with a bird's eye view of the ruins. It gave some amazing views of the mountains and surrounding valleys.
By late afternoon, it was time to say goodbye to Machu Picchu, we headed to the train station, hit up the market for some last minute souvenirs.
Back in Cusco we had our last Peruvian dinner, soaked up the evening in the Plaza de Armas.
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
