Julio in the moto-taxis in Nauta CityLee here. I'll journal the first part of the trip and Andrea will take over at the Amazon. The trip really started last January when I received a call on a weekday morning from my friend Andrea in Little Rock. Sitting in my office in Seattle, I held my breath, anticipating her news. The prior May, Andrea and I took an Adventure Life trip together to Peru, and we had recently submitted our journal to AL's annual travel journal contest. That trip to Peru had been magical, and the thought of returning so soon by winning a contest seemed too good to be true. But true it turned out to be, as Andrea shrieked WE WON!!!! loud enough for even my co-workers sitting nearby to hear. Peru, here we come again! We arrive in Lima from Miami at approximately 9 p.m. Blessedly we sail through customs, our bags arrive on time and intact, and our hotel is directly across the street from the airport. We go to bed as soon as we check in, because a) we are beat; and b) we have to be back at the airport by 7:20 am for our flight to Arequipa!
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
