Ginny and Kristin head out to Argentina for a two week adventure trip filled with historic sites, hiking in the Andes, white water rafting, horseback riding, and zip lining. April, 2014.
Photo by Ginny GrulkeIt's two weeks til we leave for Argentina, and the preparations are finally coming to a close. International air reservations, domestic air reservations, trip reservations with Adventure Life, Reciprocal Taxes to Argentina to enter the country.... now all that is left is to pack the suitcase and get some cash from the bank account!
Kristin, my daughter who lives in California, and I are going together. This is our third mother-daughter vacation; the other two were in Costa Rica and Peru (photo above is of us in Lima prior to going to the ranch to ride) and both of them were equestrian vacations, ie. we rode horses most of the time. This time around, we are spending just one day riding, but are going to be on a lot of other active trips in Argentina: hiking, biking, rafting, and zip lining.
I am in good shape for riding horses, but I don't know how sore I'll be after hiking in the mountains! It takes a whole different set of muscles. Well, I am packing all kinds of aspirin, etc. to help with the soreness but I am sure I'll be OK. I told Kristin: if i get really sore one day I'll just stay "in town" while they hike and do some shopping!!
I'll use this blog to keep you all up-to-date on the trip. I'll also post photos as we get them. Stay in touch!
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.
So go ahead and book an appointment with one of our specialized trip planners.
We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Its a beautiful country, very friendly people, and everything went like clockwork. The local guide/driver was one of the best we've had: knowledgeable, always on time, had good ideas for what to see. Khiri Travel (the local travel agency) is terrific. Second trip we've taken with them. Recommend them and Adventure Life 100%

Adventure Life organized an incredible trip matching our desired itinerary, with perfect planning and coordination from end to end, including a hand-off of guides and drivers across an international land border. I highly recommend their services.
