Colourful, candid and everything in-between. South America beats to the rhythm of an infectious, eternal drum.

It’s the sequined heat of Carnival and a cool breeze blowing across the Andes, a fiery Argentine tango and the soft silence of an Ecuadorian cloud forest. You taste it in the crackle of slow-cooked barbecue and the tang of a good pisco sour. About the only thing the continent lacks is monotony. From the rocky slopes of Galapagos to the dawn-lit ruins of Machu Picchu, South America is effervescent with sights, sounds and salsa. Now, pass the empanadas and let's talk adventure.

Inca Trail Express

Suzanne · Traveled April 2024

Fabulous & rewarding experience trekking the Quarry Trail with guide Juan Manuel and assistant Yoel. Scenery was incredible & our group of six (ages approx. 25-55) encountered no more than a dozen other people during three days on the trail. Altitude is no joke--take Diamox & stock up on electrolytes! Definitely rent trekking poles.

Inca Trail Express

Louise · Traveled April 2024

The Inca trail Express was a great experience. It was sometimes challenging but if you consider yourself to be fit and normally active then it will suit you. The whole experience with Intrepid was great. Our guide Raul is the best we’ve experienced in Peru. The Inca trail and Machu Picchu provides amazing scenery and archeological sites. Would highly recommend.

Inca Trail Express

Malgorzata · Traveled April 2024

Intrepid made this Inca trail tour and visits to Cuzco an unforgettable experience. Organization was perfect, staff welcoming, knowledgeable and very friendly. Food on the trail was out of this world. I will definitely look for opportunities to travel with them again.

Galapagos Island Hopping

Alana · Traveled April 2024

This was a fantastic trip! I loved the combination of snorkeling and hiking while seeing wildlife. Island hopping was a fun way to explore the islands as I got to learn more about local communities. Jessica exceeded expectations as my guide as she was highly knowledgeable about the islands and made me feel safe throughout the trip.
