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.

Great trip to visit 4 countries. Some long days of driving but they went by fast and we enjoyed the journey. Loved our guide Juan.

What an experience! So many memories made on this tour and I enjoyed getting to know our group while travelling across areas of Mexico that felt like not too many tourists were seeing. Highly recommend!

Intrepid is the tour company you want. Super professional and safe. Great itinerary and super communication. Fantastic value. Talented guides. Our trip leader Rainer Companioni is among the best in the business. Cannot recommend Intrepid highly enough. 5 stars.

A fantastic experience. Thoughtfully designed and incredibly well-managed, you feel safe and well cared for throughout. I took my 15-year-old son, and he also had a great time and learned a ton.
