Mexico Tour Highlights
-
Chichen Itza
Sitting on the immense plain of the northern Yucatan Peninsula, the monumental Chichen Itza is one of the most spectacular ceremonial centres of all ancient antiquity. These impressive temples and monuments are part of one of the largest sites cleared from its jungle surrounding, spectacularly highlighting Mexico's rich past. A must for all explorers! -
Palenque
The beauty and architecture of Palenque are considered by many to be the most outstanding of all the pre-Columbian sites in Mexico. Set deep in the jungle at the foot of a chain of hills, and with its brooding air of mystery, Palenque has that 'Indiana Jones' feel about it, suggesting a lost ancient city stumbled upon by chance. -
San Cristobal
For years San Cristobal has been one of the most loved travel haunts in Mexico, although a little off the beaten tourist track. This tranquil city, that seems to be living in the 18th century, is located high in the mountains of Chiapas in a small valley between pine forested hills, and surrounded by the mysterious villages of the Tzotzil and Tzeltal Indians. -
Oaxaca
A colonial jewel, Oaxaca is a feast for all the senses. Fantastic architecture, great markets, spectacular ruins and amazing food. There is something for everyone here and our included visits to the Monte Alban ruins plus the Teotitlan del Valle weaving town, where so many of Mexico's amazing hand woven rugs come from, are both highlight.
