Highlights

  • Whether you trek the Inca Trail, Inca Quarry Trail or take the scenic train route, you'll be travelling responsibly with a company that cares about balancing profit and purpose. Intrepid is the largest B Corp certified operator on the Inca Trail and we’re committed to operating our treks for the benefit of all.  
  • Discover Lima’s colonial architecture and centuries of local and global cultures coming together that makes this city one of the most fun to explore in Latin America – all with a local leader who has all the best insights.
  • Explore Cusco, South America's oldest continuously inhabited city. This foodie hub has ancient foundations and an interesting blend of Incan and colonial influences – kick back or take on some fun optional activities.
  • Set your sights on Machu Picchu, nestled within an Andean rainforest high in the mountains. This trip gives both trekkers and non-trekkers the chance to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World with the Inca Trail, Quarry Trail or train option.
  • Travel through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, known for its steep and soaring scenery and Indigenous cultures that still reside here. Enjoy lunch at a local community and then visit an organic café providing support to local women.

    This was my first experience with Intrepid, and overall, I was very impressed! The trip was great, Daniel, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the group was fun. I would definitely use Intrepid again.

    Wonderful trip--fantastic Inca trail hike to Machu Picchu. Our guide Rolando was fantastic! Walking tours in Lima and Cusco were not as informative as I would've liked in terms of architecture, history, etc..

    While the alternative itinerary provided was fine, and the leader Bobby was fabulous, the reason I went to Peru was to see Macchu Pichu. I was not provided with an option to change or cancel as my fellow travellers were.

    What a wonderful trip! Beautiful scenery and country. Very hard work hiking the Inca Trail, but worth it once you reach Machu Picchu on the last day! Highly recommend this to anyone who likes a good physical challenge! Great memories!

    Unfortunately this trip was plaqued by illness and too many leaders as we travelled between cities. Despite this, Macchu Picchu is an incredible place to experience at sunrise.
