Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Begin your journey at Sacromonte. Meet your local guide for a hike between Pueblo Eden and Viña Eden.
The adventure kicks off with a drive to Pueblo Eden, allowing you to explore the chapel and the town's main square. Start on your hike along a trail frequented by locals on their way to various ranches in the area. You'll encounter countryside gates known as "porteras," native trees, pastures filled with cows and sheep, and a gentle stream. The landscape unfolds with picturesque slopes and rolling hills. After approximately 8 kilometers, the hike concludes, and you'll head to Viña Eden winery for a satisfying lunch with a view of the vineyards (lunch cost not included).
Upon returning to Sacromonte, you can savor a welcome wine tasting atop the hill, overlooking the hills of the "Sierras de Caracoles." This experience includes a tasting of three wines, champagne, and dinner.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

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.
