A local leader

Local leaders are the metaphorical bread and butter of an Intrepid trip. They're the ones who will take you to the best vantage points, the most memorable places and the greatest culinary experiences which are often hard to find if you don't know the way. While travelling with your small tour group, you can spend time with your local leader and get the inside scoop on where to check out your travel must-sees.

Safety

While every country can present dangers, Peru is generally a safe travel destination if you are informed and alert but this is also where a group tour comes in handy. You'll have the guidance of your local leader and the company of others while exploring the gems of Peru's cities, towns and rural regions. Your leader can also help you haggle with merchants and provide advice on avoiding pickpocketers and scammers that can often be found around major tourist areas. With safety taken care of, you can simply focus on the fun.

Travelling on one of our tours means you'll likely find shared interests with others even if you're different from completely opposite ends of the world.

Inca Trail Express

Kurt · Traveled September 2024
Our guide was very professional and had a wealth of knowledge about the Incas, mountains and hiking at high altitudes. He was able to get everyone to the finish line safely even though I was in an air boot.

Inca Trail Express

Jamie · Traveled September 2024
The Inka Trail is physically and mentally demanding. Our guide and the staff that supported us in the trail made it possible for us to finish this amazing journey. Being treated to 5 star meals on our hike was completely unexpected. It was an amazing journey that I will never forget!

Inca Trail Express from Lima

Kathy · Traveled September 2024
Intrepid exceeded my expectations. The company was environmentally responsible culturally sensitive and made Peru’s culture and history come to life. We were introduced to street food we would never dared to eat but blew us away. The guides made the amazing Inca sites come to life. They helped me manage the discomfort of the altitude change compassionately and successfully. The restaurant recommendations were reasonably priced and delicious. The group dynamics were fantastic. The guides worked so hard to introduce us to Peru in a very dynamic way. I had a wonderful time and would recommend this to anyone.
