Delve Deep into Community and Culture with Intrepid

Some of the most sought-after experiences are the ones you won’t find in a guidebook. Maybe it’s eating at a local favourite, being shown a secret path up to the waterfall that no one knows about, or going for a night out at the bars that only the locals know. 
 
Intrepid believes that travel is all about getting to know the place you’re in through the eyes of those who live there. Sound like something you’d be interested in? They’ve wrapped up a bunch of their top experiences, just for you!  

• Discover the glimmering gold of India
• Feel the magic in Mexico
• Get a taste of Turkey
• Indulge in Italy
• Jump into Japan

India conjures up images of packed city streets, glimmering monuments and jungle terrain, but there is so much more to discover. Make your way through India’s Golden Triangle on a trip with Intrepid, where you can stroll through the grounds of the Amber Fort — a stunning example of Rajput architecture from the late 16th century. Once home to Rajput Maharajas and their families, the fort is perfectly positioned on a hillside overlooking the still waters of Maota lake.

Mexico is famous (rightly so!) for its beloved cuisine, but delve a little deeper with Intrepid and you’ll find magic. San Pedro Tlahuac is the perfect place to learn about local life off the well-worn path. In this ancient city, meet locals and learn how they’re preserving their long-held traditions, from how they farm to fiesta.

At the intersection of Europe and the Middle East, there is simply so much to discover in Turkey that you’ll be hard-pressed to have a bad time. When you explore Turkey with Intrepid, you’ll immerse yourself in the culture of the region. Taste local wines in one of the best-preserved Greek Ottoman villages in the country, sleep in a cave hotel in the hills of Cappadocia and find the best kept local secrets in the back streets of Istanbul.

There’s a reason Italy is such a beloved spot for travellers to Europe. The food is iconic (and delicious!), the wine is world-famous and the cities are stunning. In a place where history and culture are present in everything Italians do, it can be difficult to know where to start.  Let Intrepid do the hard work and jump on a trip to Italy where you can explore the coastline of Cinque Terre, walk or jump on the train between these beautiful coastal towns, and stop for local wine, fresh seafood and the best carbs around.
