Central America highlights

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.

Cycle Cuba: West

Jim · Traveled March 2024

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.

Excellent Itinerary and guide! Relaxed pace, unlike some other "full on" trips. Lots of downtime to explore at your own pace. Kei our guide was fantastic - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and always cheerful

Hola Cuba

Vickie · Traveled March 2024

If you love traveling and love learning you’ll love traveling with Intrepid. I have gone to both Antarctica and Cuba with them and they were both life changing trips. Intrepid makes the trip more than just about the destination - they make it about the entire journey and experience. They not only treat each passenger with kindness and respect, but our earth with kindness and respect.

Hola Cuba

Gregory · Traveled March 2024

March 2024 my wife and I took the Hola Cuba trip. Everything provided about the trip was very accurate. Absolutely fantastic time! All the places were wonderful, interesting, and fun. Leader, Alejandro, could not have been a better, more knowledgeable, or more gracious host and guide. Highly recommend.
