As my 1st Intrepid tour, i couldn't recommend this tour company enough. Diverse and action packed agenda, strong organisation, small group size (12 people) and terrific tour leaders that created some amazing experiences that i'll never forget, and an excellent introduction to some highlights of South America. Thank you Intrepid, looking forward to the next tour!

Discovering Chile, Argentina and Brazil through the eyes of the experts of Intrepid Travel is an experience that I will remember for a long time. Having used Intrepid several times in the past, my expectations were high and I was not disappointed. The transition details, the opportunity to visit Non Profits and the ability to seek out places during the free time resonated highly with me. Well done Intrepid - you continue to amaze me. Let's continue the magic.

I had an amazing time on this trip! Plenty of organised activities to see the best of everything in a short number of weeks. The tour guides were great, super knowledgable and fun to be around. My highlights were the Mendoza wineries, all of Buenos Aires including an amazing tango show, the rooftop piscos in Valparaiso, and the walking tour in Rio. The food was amazing everywhere! Special shout out to Nacho who took care of us on this trip - it was like travelling with a super knowledgable and hilarious friend!
