Meet Maya history at Chichen Itza
If you like your Mayan ruins with a touch of disco, then you’ve come to the right place. Set on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, this ancient city comes alive at sunset with a (slightly kitsch but entirely unmissable) sound and light show. The site is dominated by El Castillo, a massive pyramid with 91 steps running along each of its four sides.
Go white-water rafting in Costa Rica
If you’re going to try white-water rafting anywhere, the Pacuare River in Costa Rica is the place. Set among cascading waterfalls and lush rainforests, the warm water is ideal for first-timers. During the calmer moments keep your eyes peeled for jaguars, toucans, ocelots and monkeys.
Explore the tumbledown ruins of Antigua
Coffee all day, salsa all night and a never-ending supply of chocolate in between. This small Guatemalan city is super chilled and an extended stay is the best way to soak it all in. While there are plenty of ruins to be found, the city is famous for its colourful convents, arches and buildings in colourful hues of blue, pink, and yellow.
Havana blast in Cuba
There’s so much to do here, it’ll leave your head spinning. Join the fun with a twirl around the dance floor in a salsa class, check out a baseball game, swing past the mansion-turned-perfume-laboratory at Habana 1791, or grab a guava pastry from one of the vendors along the Malecon. Close out the day with a cigar and a glass of good ol’ fashioned Cuba Libre.

Premium Mexico City to Oaxaca

I had an incredible time during this Intrepid tour of Mexico! The itinerary was perfect, ensuring that we were able to visit cities big and small and at a pace that felt well-balanced and never rushed! Our accommodations throughout the tour were perfect. Our tour guide, Val, was amazing and warm - her enthusiasm about the art and culture of Mexico was evident throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a flavor of Mexico and all that it has to offer.

A very enjoyable trip, guide and group were great, visiting some relatively unknown site that are well worth a visit. Locals are all extremely friendly and almost always felt completely safe. Can highly recommend!

Emily · Traveled April 2024
This was one of the best trips i’ve ever taken. The comfortable private vans made traveling easy, and we saw so many animals that i would have definitely not seen if it were not for our local guide Leo. The activities were so unique (for ex. Ziplining and homestay) and this trip was just so much fun. I’m in my late 20’s early 30’s so i wasnt sure what the ages would be, but there were people my age. Since i had such an amazing experience i’m going to book another with intrepid

Rebecca · Traveled April 2024
This trip gave us an incredible glimpse of Costa Rica. We experienced cities, mountains, beaches and farms all in one short week. Our guide Leo was outstanding and his knowledge of Costa Rican birds, animals, plants, culture, and history were so valuable to our experience. He absolutely went the extra mile to make sure we had the best time and got everything we wanted out of the trip.
