Guatemala & Beyond
Kenneth · Traveled November 2023
This Basix trip was challenging but rewarding. Our guide Aura was a highlight and helped us navigate the most complex border crossings I've experienced. I learned a lot about this part of the world, and felt safe throughout, which was a big surprise. Basix trips aren't for everyone, but if you're adventurous, give it a shot-you'll be happy.

The basic design of this trip truly allowed us to experience as much culture as possible in a short time, as well as interact with and learn from the locals at every turn. I cannot imagine a better intro to the beauty that is Central America.

This trip, although rapid, gives you an in-depth look at several Central American countries with a great range of optional activities.

Tour leader Aura was the best. You will see the reality of this region. Highly recommended. Do the excursions with the Daniels (Suchitoto and Cerro Negro).

Travelling through Central America, in areas that might not always be regarded as tourist destinations was made so much easier & fun with Aura and Intrepid. My tour was fast paced, with lots of activities and I was able to see more and do more than I would have solo. Thanks Aura for an awesome trip! You were the best!
