Visit ancient ruins virtually untouched since the Mayan civilization mysteriously disappeared long ago. The Yucatan offers unsurpassed beauty, history & adventure.

This journey of adventure and discovery begins with a visit to Chichen Itza, one of the most excavated and best preserved of all archeological sites in Mexico. Climb El Castillo pyramid and gaze beyond the largest ball court in Meso-America for a fantastic glimpse into the Mayan past.

Move on to the beautiful city of Merida, the capital of the Yucatan. From our hotel, spend the day in the many shops, museums and zocalos of this charming city, and mingle with descendants of the Maya whose culture is now laced with Spanish influence.

Travel next to the ruins of Uxmal where intricately carved temple facades pay homage to Chac, the Mayan rain god. Drive on to the city of Campeche, the only coastal walled city in the New World, where, from our hotel deep in the heart of the city, we can explore the remnants of its colourful past.

Continue down the ancient Mayan trade route to Palenque, and explore ruins lost in the jungle for hundreds of years. Marvel at the magnificent pyramid known as the Temple of the Inscriptions and take a guided jungle tour to learn about this unique ecosystem. After such an adventurous day, relax and cool off in the inviting waters of Misol Ha waterfall.

Cross the Yucatan peninsula for a night on the shores of the beautiful lagoon of seven colours at Bacalar. Take a refreshing swim in the Cenote Azul before heading up the coast to the ruins of Tulum, the only Mayan city built beside the sea. Discover Hidden Worlds Cenotes Park where you can snorkel beneath the jungle and explore underground caverns.

Enjoy personal time relaxing on miles of palm fringed sugar white beaches or take a scuba lesson to get a closer look at this underwater paradise. Spend your final nights enjoying Caribbean nightlife in Playa del Carmen, before ending this magical trip in Cancun.
