Overview
Discover the soul of Mexico on this comprehensive journey through ancient civilisations, colonial treasures, and living Indigenous traditions. From the bustling markets of Mexico City to the turquoise cenotes of the Riviera Maya, experience the perfect introduction to Mexico's rich cultural and natural wonders.
Tour highlights:
- Chichén Itzá, Visit Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and Mexico’s most celebrated Mayan archaeological site. Marvel at the iconic Temple of Kukulcán, and wander among ancient ball courts, temples, and sacred cenotes.
- Riviera Maya, Discover Riviera Maya's legendary limestone sinkholes - Cenote Azul, all before swimming in mirror-still turquoise pools framed by lianas and cooled by natural springs.
- Day of the Dead Parade, On select October departures, enjoy Mexico City’s most spectacular celebration of the season - the Day of the Dead Parade, a moving pageant of life and death.
- Sumidero Canyon, Journey into Sumidero Canyon, where sheer limestone walls soar over 1,000 metres above the Grijalva River. Watch for basking crocodiles, spider monkeys, and the mossdraped "Christmas Tree" waterfall.
Tour experiences:
- Sacred Cities at Sunrise, While visiting the iconic archaeological wonders Teotihuacan and Chichén Itzá, you will have exclusive early-access to the site. This fantastic perk means you’ll have time to explore these historic treasures at their most atmospheric, as the sun rises and before the crowds arrive.
- Living Traditions of Mexico, Take part in meaningful encounters with indigenous communities as you visit and spend time with the Zapotec people in the Sierra Norte mountains, and sit down to a home-cooked lunch with a Tzotzil Maya family in a Zinacantan village – what better way to get authentic insight into age old cultures?
- Rhythms of Jalisco, As the dusk falls over Guadalajara’s historic rooftops, partake in a celebration of the musical soul of the state of Jalisco. As you dine on delicious local food, you’ll be entertained with live mariachi and dancers in colourful, traditional dress performing the folkloric dances of Jalisco including Jarabe Tapatío, the Mexican Hat Dance.
