We are 65, but in very good health and active. Can we join this tour?

These adventures are specially designed for travellers aged 18 to 35, with the goal of creating a shared experience among people at similar life stages. This helps ensure the group dynamic, activities, and travel style are aligned with what our guests expect. Since you're over 35, we'd love to help you find a similar itinerary on one of our open-age trips (which is the vast majority of our trips), which offer the same great destinations and experiences. What people note most about the 18-35s tours compared to others is that they are less expensive, this is because that style of trip often utilizes multi-share hostels, public transport vs. private and includes a lot less as far as meals and activities.

can you share some more details regarding the long bus ride? how long is it approximately, what is the starting point and destination? is it possible to book a flight instead? my wife and I are 44 and 43 respectively, and we are in good shape. would it be possible to book this trip?

The long bus ride on Day 7 is approximately 14 hours. The ride starts from Estancia and continues to the next destination. We do not provide flight upgrades for this bus ride. This trip is specifically designed for travelers aged 18–35, so unfortunately, you and your wife would not be able to book this trip. If you have any other departure in mind, please let us know and we'd be happy to help you find a suitable option.

Are there any tours doable for 70 year olds? How strenuous is this tour?

The tour is rated 2 out of 5 in terms of physical activity, which means it includes some easy, optional activities and doesn't require any special preparation. However, this particular tour is age-restricted to travellers aged 18 to 35, not due to the physical demands but because it's designed specifically for that age group in terms of travel style, accommodation. We can suggest alternative tours that offer a similar itinerary and experience but are open to all ages.

Luggage allowances: I plan to bring one checked bag (23 kg) and one carry-on (10 kg). Is it possible to purchase an upgraded baggage allowance if needed? Are there any risks of overweight charges or issues handling/changing transport?

Walking distances to accommodations: Could you please let me know if the drop-off points from local transport (e.g. bus terminals, airports) to the hotels or group accommodations are within easy walking distance? Will guests need to carry luggage over long distances or up stairs?

is he age limit 35? my friend and i are celebrating het 65th birthday. Both very active.

This particular departure is part of our 18 to 35s range, and is specifically designed for travellers aged between 18 and 35 years old. Unfortunately, we're unable to confirm bookings outside of that age group for this trip. However, if you're open to other options, we'd be happy to suggest similar trips with no age restrictions that you and your friend can enjoy together.

What is the total price of this trip with / without single supplement?

The cost for the October 11th departure would be $2,680 USD without a single supplement. If you did want to have your own room the additional cost would be $290 USD. Please note that the single supplement excludes Days 5 & 6 (Estancia Stay) and Day 7 (Overnight bus) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability.

Overall, a well-organized trip with memorable experiences. Paraty and Ilha Grande are definitely worth visiting, and the flights and transfers between locations worked smoothly. The ranch stay and the food there were excellent, and the itinerary covered key highlights like Iguazu Falls (both sides). The balance between guided activities and free time was perfect, and our guide Felipe was outstanding - knowledgeable, friendly, and always relaxed even in stressful moments. A few aspects could have been handled more effectively. For example, in Montevideo, the “tour guide” was actually a local freelancer rather than an Intrepid guide. One full day at the ranch felt a bit long; it could have been better replaced with a day in São Paulo or an extra day in Paraty. Overall, the trip offered fantastic experiences, well-chosen highlights, and excellent guidance, making it a highly enjoyable adventure despite minor cost-saving choices.Show more

Thank you for posting a bit about your experience with us, Patrick! We are happy to read that overall you had a fantastic time away. We always hope to use constructive critiques- such as yours- to improve our itineraries. We will be sure to get your comments along to our product manager for consideration. On most of our itineraries, we do use local guides to provide the first hand, in depth knowledge that we aim to deliver with our activities, while providing local employment opportunities. Paraty and Ilha, as well as the Falls, are such a highlight for this tour- we are glad you thought so too! We look forward to welcoming you along again when us when the time comes. Have a fantastic week ahead, and stay well.

  Walking distances to accommodations: Could you please let me know if the drop-off points from local transport (e.g. bus terminals, airports) to the hotels or group accommodations are within easy walking distance? Will guests need to carry luggage over long distances or up stairs?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2025
  For this trip, we recommend bringing a small to medium wheeled suitcase or a medium to large backpack, plus a daypack for daily activities. Many domestic flights and local airlines on this route typically allow a maximum of 20 kg for checked luggage. Carry-on bags may need to meet size restrictions (approximately 25cm x 35cm x 45cm). Overweight charges can apply and vary by airline. In most cases, the group will be dropped off close to the accommodation. However, there may be occasions where it's necessary to walk short distances or carry luggage up stairs, especially in areas where vehicle access is limited.
