The temple of Chichen Itza on a dark cloudy day in Mexico

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.
      

Travellers whit water rafting in the middle of the jungle on the Pacuare River in Costa Rica

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.
      

Costa Rica: Hike, Bike & Raft

A colorful street full of people in traditional clothes on a sunny day in antigua, guatemala

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 colorful convents, arches and buildings in colorful hues of blue, pink, and yellow. 
      

Travellers walking down a street with colourful buildings in Havana, Cuba on a sunny day

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.

Hola Cuba

robert · Traveled April 2024

Excellent introduction to Havana and western Cuba. Our tour leader Yanet was well-organized, passionate about his country, and thoroughly knowledgeable about the island and its history. Jorge, our driver, carried our group of 10 safely and comfortably to each destination in a new small bus that had plenty of room.

Premium Mexico City to Oaxaca

Neela · Traveled April 2024

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.

Great trip! I loved that I didn’t have to think about a thing. Lodging was beautiful. Our guide Jonathon was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the areas, had connections throughout the trip & had a good read on the group so we were all happy with his restaurant choices. Cant wait for my next trip with Intrepid.
