Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Contiki's 8 Day Mexican Fiesta. Brimming with colour, passion, flavour and heat, Mexico is a haven of beauty and biodiversity. From Puerto Vallarta to the ruins of Teotihuacan and of course, the bustling metropolis of Mexico city, this fiery fiesta of a trip lets you immerse yourself in this beautiful country with adventure activities, colonial sites, crumbling ruins, water sports, spicy food and a sizzling nightlife. There's no better way to tour this fascinating country.

Itinerary

Welcome to one of the most popular beach towns in Mexico, also known as the 'Mexican Riviera'. Spa, pool, relax, repeat are all high on the agenda today – and that's before we top it all off with a beachfront dinner, with the water and twinkling lights setting an unforgettable scene. (D) Stay: Holiday Inn Express Puerto Vallarta (or similar)

Today you're free to explore Puerto Vallarta however you like. You can surf, or zip line, take a day trip to remote beaches on a sailing trip. Then, in the evening, catch a Pirate show! Expect the unexpected in Puerto Vallarta. (B)

Bye bye beach hangs, but don't worry, this isn't your last taste of Mexican beach life - we'll see you soon, sea. Nothing screams ‘Mexico' like tequila, so why not head to a genuine distillery where you can learn how this fiery spirit is made and taste some for yourself?

Afterwards, take a stroll around the streets to get a feel for the old and new world architecture this place is known for – and then sample some seriously electric nightlife. It's time to learn about the city known as the 'Pearl of the West', Guadalajara, with its four main squares and glorious cathedral. Then you could go and find a spot to watch one of the city's famous live Mariachi bands do its thing. (B) Stay: Hotel de Mendoza Guadalajara (or similar)

We leave Guadalajara and hit the road.  Here at the old colonial city of Guanajuato (now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage City), you'll learn about the history of the famous silver mining town and how the economy has shaped much of its culture. Discover the famous 'Mummies', the lovers at the 'Alley of Kisses', and even the Hidalgo Market, designed by Gustave Eiffel himself. (B/D) Stay: Hotel Gran Plaza Guanajuato (or similar)

Thanks to the bright facades of Guanajuato, your eyes should be wide open by now. Just in time too, because there is so much to see in Mexico City. Mexico City is the largest city in the country and impressively, the oldest capital in Central America. Known for its Aztec temple, its surprising altitude at 2200m, and mountainous landscape, this place is busy, bustling and oh-so-wonderful. (B) Stay: Hotel Royal Reforma (or similar)

The theme 'getting out there' will take on a whole new meaning today. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are the focus for this leg of your journey in this bustling city. Get stuck into the local flavours by tasting some Mexican delicacies at a local market. Do some shopping in Coyoacan. Then, tonight, re-fuel with city eats, like enchiladas, tamales and tacos. Even head out and get a little loco, if the mood takes you... (B)

It's a busy one today, travellers. Archaeological city Teotihuacan, pyramids and Aztec temples are the focus for this leg of your journey. As you go, local guides will kindly impart their extensive knowledge on many interesting topics so you're in the know on anything and everything. And if you happen to be here at the right time, you might even get to experience Lucha Libre, Mexican wrestling! (B/D)

Our fiesta comes to a close today as we say our sad farewells in Mexico City. Swap deets - another Contiki adventure is on the horizon. (B)
