Brian Morgan, president and founder of Adventure Life, says, "Our trips go far beyond the surface. We do this by working with top local guides who love sharing their homes and by searching out sites and activities that exhibit the wonderful spirit of a place. We love travel. Whether it's colorful festivals, fine foods, spectacular treks, paddling, or whatever, we love travel and helping others create their own trips of a lifetime. We only offer trips in Latin America and since so many of our customers travel again and again with us, this pushes us to create ever more interesting trips that fit all sorts of travelers."Popular Adventure Travel Outings with Adventure Life
Adventure Life specializes in trips to Latin America and Antarctica. This company also offers many expedition cruises. Here are four popular trips.Andean Triathlete Adventure - Between the stunning Andes and roaring mountain rivers, the land of the Incas near Cusco and the Sacred Valley is a great destination for active adventures. With deep canyons cut by beautiful rivers and back roads and trails in the shadows of the impressive Andes, explore the countryside during this multi-day biking, hiking, camping and raft trip that combines your action-packed days with a visit the Inca cities of Cusco and Ollantaytambo. Finish the trip at ruins of Machu Picchu. This trip is for those who want to explore traditional Peru in a non-traditional fashion (and break a sweat along the way).
Northwest Argentina Trek - During this Northwest Argentina trip, take a journey back in time to discover the cultural legacy of the ancient Incas, Diaguita, and the Spanish conquistadors, set against the backdrop of the magnificent peaks of the Andes. Hike among an array of strangely shaped and polychromatic desert landforms created from the primeval seabed. Visit the famed vineyards of Cafayate, hike through deep gorges, and climb dramatic mountain passes as you trek across Northwestern Argentina.
Amazon Biosphere - Begin your trip in Cusco, then, embark on a stunning two-day journey over mountains and through cloud forest, stopping for the night at small jungle lodges. Your destination is the Manu Wildlife Center, set amidst some of the most prolific jungle in the entire Amazon basin. Manu Biosphere Reserve, in eastern Peru's Amazon territory, has the highest concentration of bird species on the planet. It is also home to tapirs, a dozen varieties of monkeys, and the giant otter. During this tour of the Amazon, spend your days there searching for the wildlife that makes this region so sought-after. A final night in Cusco before heading home finishes the trip.
Galapagos Yacht Cruises - Adventure Life offers a number of Galapagos Islands cruises. On Adventure Life Galapagos tours, travelers set out by foot, kayak, horse or bike with a naturalist guide who shows the diversity of Galapagos wildlife and teaches about the area's natural history. Each island is filled with Galapagos travel highlights: snorkeling with playful sea lions, admiring the amusing blue-footed Boobie, whale-watching, or hiking to lava tunnels on Santa Cruz Island.
