Safety Updates
The safety of our passengers, leaders and operators is a major priority of Intrepid. With this in mind we monitor world events very closely. Intrepid makes operational decisions based on informed advice from a number of sources...
- The level of the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT) travel advisory. For any Intrepid Travel operated trip if this advisory is at Level 5 'Do Not Travel' then Intrepid will either cancel a trip or reroute the itinerary to avoid the areas concerned.
- With over 400 leaders on the ground in operational destinations and subsidiary companies in our main hub cities, Intrepid has access to a up to the minute flow of information as to the mood and feelings within the countries we work in.
- We are also in regular contact with the various operators we use. Their in depth knowledge and understanding of their various areas is vital.
- Other Government travel advisories...
- World Health Organisation

Torres del Paine National Park - Chile (05 January 12)
Local authorities have informed that 80% of the Torres del Paine National Park is now re-opened and that the two remaining fire fronts are controlled.
All future departures of the Patagonia Wilderness trip(GPTU) are expected to run as normal.
Unfortunately the 20% of the park that remains closed means that the W Trek section of the Patagonia Trekking trip(GPTV) can't be run yet. Travellers on this trip will be offered an alternative itinerary within the re-opened section of the park.
We will continue monitoring this situation through local authorities and Intrepid team on the ground and update this site as soon as more information comes to hand.
