Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive Cancún

Arrive in Cancún at any time.

Day 2-3 Chichén Itzá / Mérida

Under the Yucatan sun, climb the fantastic Mayan pyramids of Chichén Itzá and then continue on to the colonial city of Mérida.

Day 4-6 Palenque / The Highlands

Lush tropical vegetation, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife surround this ancient Mayan site. Head towards the cooler highlands of San Cristóbal de las Casas, a colourful city with a rich local culture.

Day 7-11 Guatemalan Highlands

Panajachel is a small settlement surrounded by volcanoes. Visit the Sunday market of Chichicastenango, a cultural experience not to be missed! In colonial Antigua there are numerous optional activities: climb a volcano or bike through the countryside.

Day 12-13 Flores, Tikal, Guatemala

The charming and historic island town of Flores is found on Lake Petén Itzá. Stroll the streets, shop for handicrafts or take a swim in the lake. Visitors to the nearby ruins of Tikal and the surrounding National Park often describe the experience as “magical.”

Day 14-15 San Ignacio, Belize

The tropical town of San Ignacio is Belize’s jungle gem. It offers several optional excursions including horseback riding, canoeing, caving, and exploring the Mountain Pine Ridge area.

Day 16-18 Caye Caulker

Take it easy in the laid-back setting of Caye Caulker—a tiny island with sandy streets, no traffic and lots of reggae music. Snorkel with stingrays and nurse sharks, dive through colourful reefs or just enjoy some serious R&R and savour the delicious, fresh seafood.

Day 19-21 Playa del Carmen

Once a sleepy fishing village, Playa del Carmen is now a hot spot for jet-setting resort vacationers and backpackers alike. Take a visit to the nearby island of Cozumel or a trip down the coast to the Mayan beachside ruins of Tulúm.
