Central America 18 to 35s tours

Sun, salsa (the eating and the dancing) and good times. Central America is where it’s at. Whether you want to kick back on the Caribbean coast, eat your fill of tacos in Mexico or go sloth-spotting in Costa Rica, there’s a Central American adventure waiting for you.

Why choose us

The ultimate adventures

You can’t travel to Cuba without riding in a vintage car but learning to salsa with the locals in a smoky nightclub is just as memorable. That’s why we’ve included the big-ticket items, as well as plenty of free time.

Local leaders, local connections

Travelling with an experienced leader means you can just enjoy the moment, rather than worrying about when the last train leaves. They’ll also share stories and take you to places that only the locals know about.

Small (but not too small) groups

Our groups are made up of 10 travellers on average. That’s big enough to create a good vibe, but small enough to explore a destination independently. And if you’re travelling solo, it’s the perfect number of new friends.

A sustainable way to travel

We believe that travelling sustainably is important. Through our not-for-profit The Intrepid Foundation, we are committed to supporting projects around the world – from reducing carbon in the environment to supporting the livelihoods of local communities.

Stay real in cool places

We think where you lay your head at night can be just as cool as what you see during the day. Whether that be sleeping on a sailing boat off the coast of Turkey or rocking to sleep on an overnight train from Berlin to Krakow.

Make your money go further

Want big-time experiences without the big-time price tag? Our 18 to 35s travel style means staying in simple, well-located accommodation, taking local transport and enjoying tasty local food, so you choose where your spending money goes.

If you’re looking for a stress free way to travel around Central America, then this Intrepid trip is for you. I am very satisfied with this trip and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks to Intrepid and Ronny, my love for the Spanish language and Latin American culture has increased dramatically and I can’t wait to visit Central America again, and it will most certainly be with Intrepid.

Absolutely loved this trip! A good mix of culture, adrenaline and relaxation must-do activities include snorkelling and ATM caves in Belize, as well as exploring the ruins of Tikal, Guatemala. Our tour guide Rony was excellent. Always very happy to answer any questions, had spot-on recommendations, and would go above and beyond to meet our expectations! Would 100% recommend!

Real Mexico

Jasmine · Traveled June 2024
Going on a tour with intrepid I was able to explore the more authentic and hidden side of Mexico - really getting to know the local culture and people rather than just sticking to the typical tourist spots! Our tour guide Erhard was really enthusiastic and happy to answer any questions and really focused on promoting local businesses in his recommendations.
