Our day on Perito Moreno Glacier reminded us that it is best to always be prepared! Something we were careful of in our early traveling days, but have gotten more lazy about with age.
As we packed our backpacks for our day on the glacier, we basked in the sun that streamed in through our open windows in our room in El Calafate. We enjoyed the views of the blue sky over Lake Argentina and then headed downstairs to meet our guide.
The further we drove from sunny El Calafate, the darker the skies grew. About an hour out of town, there were only looming, dark storm clouds as far as the eye could see. And then the rain began. Did we have full waterproof gear in our suitcases, ready to protect us from the worst kinds of inclement weather? Absolutely! Did we choose to leave those at the hotel and instead wear clothes that were heavy, thick and would take forever to dry? We sure did!
While our day hiking on Perito Moreno Glacier was definitely a wet one, it was still amazing. To see the beauty of the glacier up close was fabulous. To peek into seemingly never-ending crevasses and admire the deepest shades of blue was an experience absolutely worth having - rain or shine! We will just be sure to tuck that rain gear in our backpacks next time...just in case!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
