Mexico Yucatán: Cancun, Holbox and Mayan Ruins
The trip in a nutshell
When we think of Mexico, what do we think of? Tasty tacos, bright and colourful sombreros, maracas and lots of tequila, right? Well, on this trip we will see all this. But that's not all... this tour will take you to discover the real Mexico, with its colonial cities, its mangrove jungles and its crystalline water. As a group, we will discover the idyllic Playa del Carmen with its golden beaches. And guess what? We'll snorkel in the Caribbean coral reef in Tulum. Mexico holds majestic and sometimes surreal landscapes that are to die for!
As our journey continues, we will discover the Mayan mysteries linked to the pyramids and hidden temples. We'll enjoy dream beaches that take us on a journey between suggestion and reality that ends up in the modern city of nightlife, Cancun.
