Mayan Highlights

There are no planned activities until the evening welcome meeting.

After a guided tour of the fantastic ruins at Chichén Itzá, continue on to Mérida for an orientation walk to get acquainted with the city. With museums, plazas, beautiful architecture, open markets and outdoor cafés, there is plenty to keep you busy here.

Opt to visit ruins of Uxmal, ride the PUUC Route, go bird-watching in Celestún, hit the beach in Progreso, visit cenotes in the nearby town of Cuzamá, or walk around town and soak in all of the history this city has to offer.

Travel day to Palenque in the lush dense jungle of Chiapas.

Take a guided tour of the ruins of Palenque. Later, choose from one of the many optional activities in the area.

Transfer to Bacalar and spend time on the beach looking out at the crystal-clear lake.

Opt to kayak around the lagoon or explore the nearby fortress.

Head to Playa del Carmen, located on the beach just a 45-min drive south of Cancún. Enjoy some nightlife, buy last minute souvenirs and relax and swim in the Caribbean. There is the opportunity for snorkelling and diving, as well as long stretches of sandy beaches which are perfect for walking and relaxing after a hectic day. Just off the coast is the island of Cozumel, renowned for its world-class diving. Take the ferry from Playa del Carmen (30-75 minutes depending on the boat) across the turquoise waters and explore the town and the reefs of the island. For a final dose of ruins, Tulúm is just a 45-min drive south of Playa. (D)

We recommend booking post-tour accommodation to fully explore the Playa del Carmen area. Ask your sales agent for help.
