Hola and welcome to Mexico City! When you arrive, we'll pick you up at the airport and take you to our hotel in the heart of the country's largest city. You'll have time to relax before meeting up with your new group of friends, and in the evening we'll head out and look forward to the adventures ahead!
What a place to start our adventure! Known for its mountainous surroundings, rich history and incredible buildings, we'll begin with a tour of the historic centre. We'll stroll through the bustling streets and learn about the Aztec Empire and the history of the Spanish conquest. and see icons such as the Metropolitana Cathedral and the Zocalo. The afternoon is free for you to visit a museum or listen to a mariachi song. Tonight we'll fortify ourselves with a traditional Mexican dinner and a show in the Plaza Garibaldi!
Today we say goodbye to the city and drive to Puebla, also known as "Magic Town", a beautiful colonial city flanked by volcanoes. Here we learn about the history of the region - for example, that Cinco de Mayo originated here! After lunch, we continue our journey to Oaxaca, where we check into our accommodation. We then set off to explore the streets by moonlight and visit the bars and restaurants!
Today we immerse ourselves in the vibrant heart of Oaxaca, a cultural jewel in Mexico! We'll lose ourselves in the vibrant, colourful markets, marvel at stunning cathedrals and immerse ourselves in the authentic local atmosphere. After our day of exploration, the adventure continues with a night spent savouring Oaxaca's culinary delights.
Enjoy a relaxing morning exploring the town or buying some local souvenirs before travelling to a nearby valley to visit a local family and learn how handmade textiles are made. But that's not all, because next up is a visit to a traditional mezcal distillery. We learn all about this invigorating spirit and have a glass or two before continuing our journey to Tehuantepec, where we spend the night.
We board a local boat and travel through the huge Sumidero Gorge. We see huge waterfalls, lush jungle valleys, keep an eye out for monkeys and even encounter crocodiles! Then it's up into the mountains to our next destination - the iconic town of San Cristobal de las Casas. Enjoy a short walking tour and a pox tasting - a traditional drink from the Chiapas region - before heading out for an incredible dinner.
From beautiful San Cristobal, we take a flight over Mexico today and land in the beautiful city of Cancun without wasting any time. Situated on the Yucatán Peninsula, we get our first taste of Caribbean happiness and life in the Caribbean.

This morning we take the ferry to the paradise of Isla Holbox. When we say paradise, we mean it - think sun-drenched, powder-white beaches, emerald-coloured waters, rich marine life and rustic villages. We'll have time to acclimatise to island life, eat authentic food, watch the sunset and enjoy an evening of tropical beats under the stars in a beach bar.
Today we dive (literally) deep into the beauty of Isla Holbox with a boat tour. We'll look out for the photogenic pink flamingos, stop at hidden island oases and visit a local cenote. The afternoon is yours to laze in a hammock and perhaps read that book you've been carrying around with you. Sea, relaxation, repetition - the perfect day to switch off.
Our Mexican adventure in the Yucatán continues today. We check into our last hotel in Playa del Carmen and have enough time to explore the beaches, bars and tacos of this world-famous hotspot. Fancy some souvenir shopping?
Today we go on a discovery tour to one of the seven wonders of the world - Chichén Itzá. A local guide will introduce us to the myths and majesty of these famous ruins, including the Temple of Kukulkan ("El Castillo"), the Platform of the Skulls and the Place of a Thousand Columns. Later we will have a unique experience in the crystal clear waters of a breathtaking cenote, a natural limestone pool in a secret underground world.
Fiesta, siesta, today we do it all! This morning we set off to visit the incredible ruins of Tulum. Elegantly perched on the cliffs by the sea, we'll visit this archaeological wonder before diving into the azure waters of Tulum beach. Back in Playa, we'll have time to get ready for our last dinner and drinks together. Let's mash up some avocado, drink a tequila (or more) and get a little crazy - with new friends by our side.
It's time to say adios, because our Mexican adventure is coming to an end. You can check out and go home, stay in Playa Del Carmen or continue your journey. We will be happy to help you plan your onward journey.
