Guided, Small-Group Excursions Across Exotic Countries
The squawks of exotic birds echo in the dense canopy of the Amazon jungle; thousands of miles away, ancient Incan pathways meander through rugged mountains, and down at sea level, sunbathers soak in rays along pristine beaches. The rich variety of ecology throughout Latin America is reason alone for a visit but barely scratches the surface of the region's appeal. Intrepid Travel guides groups of approximately 12 (group size varies by trip) to absorb Latin America’s verdurous natural landscapes and legendary historical sites during guided, multiday excursions.
A knowledgeable, friendly leader takes the helm of every adventure, which span three types. Basix trips feature one- or two-star accommodations and include optional activities geared toward interacting with locals. Voyagers on the Original and Comfort jaunts post up in three- or four-star lodgings, participate in prearranged activities, and enjoy free time to translate the complete works of Shakespeare into Mayan hieroglyphic script. All three trip types include some meals, and certain trips house participants in tents at campsites or in the home of a local family. Each voyage also centers on a theme that dictates its activities, length, and style of accommodations. Overland trips, for example, utilize purpose-built vehicles to traverse remote terrain, and the Active trips engage muscles with kayaking and cycling throughout the outing.
Central and South America: Rich Histories Hidden in Lush Landscapes
Intrepid's trips span 17 different countries and regions throughout Latin America, with an eye toward checking out both the key landmarks and immersing travelers in vibrant hidden neighborhoods. The pulsating rhythms, the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, and the majestic Iguazu Falls highlight the Rio to Buenos Aires trip. Tulum's dramatic cliff-side ruins and Chichen Itza's pyramids characterize the Mayan Discovery trip. For adventurers who want to hike gorgeous scenery or to carve phone numbers into a boulder, there are trips that wind through the jungles of Brazil and Belize to the rugged mountains of Chile and Argentina. After getting a taste of traditional Quechua culture on an Amazon journey that crisscrosses multiple countries, travelers can bask in the lively modern scenes located in flourishing metropolises such as Mexico City and Buenos Aires
