Nine new Expedition itineraries coming from Intrepid

Intrepid Travel has nine brand-new itineraries as part of its annually series of Expedition tours, featuring several of the world’s most remote cities.

Set to depart in 2018 and 2019, the one-of-a-kind experiences that explore areas like the Congo Basin’s tropical rainforests will be the newest and most adventurous trips in the company’s portfolio, Intrepid said.

The Expeditions introduce two new Expedition destinations to the company’s product range, Paraguay and Vanuatu, and include visits to untapped cities within well-visited countries such as India, Argentina and South Africa. The itineraries include Russia Expedition - Winter Trans-Siberian Adventure; Republic of Congo Expedition - Gorilla Trek; India Expedition - Tea & Tribes; South Africa Expedition - Kruger Walking Safari; and Patagonia Expedition - Andean Crossing.

“We created the Expeditions to innovate and test new product in the continuously growing adventure travel sector,” said Leigh Barnes, Intrepid Travel’s director of North America. “As adventure travel has become increasingly popular, we find our limited-edition Expedition trips continuously sell-out as people are wanting to have cultural experiences in destinations few have had the opportunity to explore, for travellers these trips are the ultimate bucket-list items.”

Led by local leaders, the new trips offer insider information on the destinations and access to interactions with community members.

Departures for the new Expeditions are priced as low as $2,735 CAD per person. For more information on the tour range, visit www.intrepidtravel.com/ca/theme/expeditions.
