Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Dive into the amazing wildlife of Galapagos – look out for pink flamingos, red-throated frigates, blue-footed boobies and the Galapagos tortoise. Then snorkel through the underwater wonderland of Devil’s Crown – the formerly volcanic crater that is now home to turtles, rays and sharks.

  • Choose your own adventure on your way to the mother of all Inca cities – Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Test yourself on the challenging Classic Inca or Inca Quarry trails or take the train for a more leisurely experience.

  • Marvel at the evergreen splendour of the Amazon. Explore rainforest trails with a local guide, looking out for wildlife and medicinal plants, and stay in a tranquil jungle lodge overnight.

  • Sleep in a mud-brick hut on the shore of vast, ancient Lake Titicaca during a homestay in a traditional Andean community, and visit the floating reed islands of Uros with your small group.

  • 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.
