• Free 2 hours guided tour of the Recoleta Cemetery, including Eva Peron’s crypt. Left the tour half way through, got the idea.
• It started to rain so we stopped for coffee at a café next to the cemetery. We found out later that it is a very well known historical café. Since it still rained we took a cab to the subway station line “C” to find out it is not working. Still raining, so we took another taxi to line “A” to find out it is not working either. By now we realized the whole subway system is down. Since it was still raining we stop for lunch and beer at yet another coffee shop. We basically got the worse combination – the continuous rain did not allow us to walk around for sightseeing, and the subway system being down forced us to move around by taxis.
• We discovered how to get to the market (Fruits & Vegetables Mercado) by bus. When we got there at 4:30pm it was closed for siesta, so we killed about half an hour at an internet café. The market turned to be a major disappointment, relatively very small and nothing much to see.
• By now, the subway system was operative again so we took the subway back to the hotel.
• We later found out that the subway system was down not because it broke down but rather due to a strike.
We received an immediate response from Kassandra who reserved our cruise as soon as she got a confirmation from us. Maria and Jess also were in touch right away.

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
