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

Janine · Traveled March 2024

This was my first trip with intrepid and I know it’s the first of many more to come. Every step of the process from research to booking to preparation and the trip itself were smooth. The leader and guides went above and beyond to make sure the whole group’s beds were met and we could not have felt safer in their care. The history, geography and cultural knowledge that we gained was amazing and the social and environment mission behind Intrepid’s journeys are an inspiration.

Inca Trail was really tough but our Guide Whilder and our group was amazing. Everyone was so supportive and helpful. Without their encouragement, I would never have made it. Really grateful to everyone!

This trip was amazing and the guide Whilder made it for us. His passion, knowledge of the Incas and care for each individual made us feel cared for at all times on this challenging hike. He made sure every aspect of this the inca trail trip worked flawlesslessly. I can't give any higher praise and our thanks to the 21 other porters, chefs, and supporting staff for our trip.
