14 DAY
SMALL GROUP ADVENTURE FOR 18 - 38 YEAR OLDS
FROM $1095.00
This
trek is an exciting mix of tropical Mexico, ancient Mayan Indian cultures,
steamy jungles, mystical highlands and the enchanting, inviting beaches of
the Caribbean.
Discover the fascinating, ancient Mayan city of
Chichen
Itza before heading to the capital of the Yucatan, Merida. We can shop
in the large markets, dine in the outdoor cafes and discover the cultural
heritage of this great colonial city.
Travel into the heart of the Yucatan to climb the heights of the Pyramid of
the Magician at the fabled city of Uxmal. Enter the Jungles of the Lacendon
which surround the mystical city of Palenque. Climb the stairs of the Temple
of Inscriptions and scan the horizon from the observatory as did the Mayan
priests/astronomers centuries ago.
Jungle gives way to the lush mountain highlands of Chiapas, passing quaint
Indian villages, bountiful coffee plantations and the refreshing
waterfalls of Agua Azul en route to San Cristobal de las Casas. Wander its
bustling streets, teeming with colourful Indian markets and beautiful handicrafts.
Outlying villages, such as San Juan Chamula, where the present day Mayans
are garbed in their traditional clothing and speak Tzetzal and Tzotzil dialects,
the languages of their ancestors. Drop out of the highlands and cross the
vast Yucatan Peninsula, passing pyramids and ancient cities of the Maya before
arriving at the Caribbean coast in Quintana Roo. Stop for a refreshing swim
in the exotic lagoon of
Cenote
Azul - a fitting introduction to the relaxed pace of the Caribbean. Our coastal
camp near
Tulum is surrounded by swaying palm trees, white sandy beaches and sparkling
blue waters. Days are spent relaxing on pristine beaches, visiting nearby
resorts or exploring underwater wonders of natural parks such as
Xel Ha,
before returning to Cancun. .
