Intrepid debuts new Timor-Leste expedition

New in 2023, Intrepid is launching a specially designed itinerary to discover the local Timorese way of life and undiscovered land.

The new 9-Day Timor-Leste Expedition will be a fully inclusive trip, with provided meals, transportation, accommodation and activities.
