Mexico 360°: Yucatán from Cancun to Tulum, Mayan Ruins & Pink Lagoons

This journey begins at Cancun. On the first day, we meet at 18:00.

Your Group Leader will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
 It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have. If you expect to arrive later, let the Group Leader know through the group: we’ll make the necessary arrangements so you can join without any issues.

This journey ends at Cancun. On the last day, you are free to leave at any time, so whether you need to book a flight, a train, or wish to continue the journey on your own, you can organize your return as you prefer.

For this itinerary, soft luggage is required for logistical reasons and the convenience of the whole group - including yourself! Soft luggage includes backpacks, duffel bags, or sports bags, but not trolleys or bulky suitcases. The Travel Group Leader will provide guidance on the ideal baggage before departure via the WhatsApp group.

Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.

As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

Yes, you can change your trip directly from your MyWeRoad personal area, up to 31 days before departure. If you purchased Flexible Cancellation, to give you maximum flexibility, you may cancel your trip up to 8 days before departure and receive a refund, whatever the reason.

How to change your trip from MyWeRoad

• Enter your booking
• Scroll to the “Change your trip” section at the bottom right
• Select a different date for the same trip or a completely different trip

Things to know

You can change your trip up to 3 times from your MyWeRoad personal area. Further changes must be requested by contacting our team at hello@weroad.com.
The new trip must depart within 12 months from the original departure date.
If your original booking included a private room, Flexible Cancellation, discount codes, gift cards, or vouchers, we will notify you before confirmation if they cannot be applied to the new trip.

You cannot switch to sold-out trips. For “On request” departures, we will check availability. For “Last spots” departures, availability in rooms of your same gender may not be guaranteed.
If there is a price adjustment: if the new trip costs less, we will refund the difference; if it costs more, you will need to pay the difference.

PLEASE NOTE: before cancelling, keep in mind that you can move your booking to another trip or a different date. Find out how!

In some cases – for example when a departure is not yet confirmed and it is your first unconfirmed booking – you can book without paying the €/£/$100 deposit upfront.

This means that you can secure your spot at zero cost: nothing will be charged until the departure is confirmed. Once the departure is confirmed, the €/£/$100 deposit will be automatically charged within 48 hours according to the terms agreed at the time of booking.

Yes, but first consider changing your trip: from MyWeRoad you can move your booking to another date or another trip up to 31 days before departure, without losing what you've paid. Find out how!

If you still want to cancel

• Confirmed trip: you cancel directly from MyWeRoad, in the trip management section. Amounts paid are non-refundable, unless you bought Flexible Cancellation.
• Trip not confirmed yet: cancellation goes through our team. Write to hello@weroad.com with your booking code.

Please note: if it's your first unconfirmed booking, you will only be asked to provide a credit card, PayPal, or Revolut as a guarantee, but nothing will be charged. From the second unconfirmed booking onwards, a mandatory £/$100 deposit will be required.

You'll find all the details in Can I cancel my booking directly from MyWeRoad? and Can I get a refund if I cancel?

We offer several payment methods to fit every need:

1. Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Klarna (you’ll pay for the trip in three equal amounts);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account.

Yes, in two ways:

1. From your personal area
Once you've booked, every WeRoader can add their flight details in their personal area, and the rest of the group can see them anonymously. Just log in, open your booking, and you'll find the section there. The more people fill it in, the easier it is for everyone to match up.

2. From the trip messages
Every departure has its own message space on the WeRoad website: the best place to ask your future travel mates directly, or to read what they've already written.

You don't need to have booked to join in. If you're still deciding, you can already ask who's going, when, and on which flight. You can get there from the departures list, from the trip page, or from your personal area once you're logged in.

Your Travel Coordinator is in the conversation too, so if you have a question about that specific departure, that's where you'll get an answer.

And if you can't find what you're looking for, just write to us and we'll share whatever information we have.

If a departure is “Open to book”, it means that the trip is not yet confirmed and we are waiting for a few more bookings… maybe yours!

The good news? If it’s your first booking on an unconfirmed departure, you can book without paying anything! Just. leave your credit card details as a guarantee: no immediate charge, €/£/$0 deposit.
In the meantime, wait for the departure to be confirmed before purchasing your round-trip flights!

It depends on when you cancel, the status of your departure, and how much you have already paid. Here are all the cases.

If the trip is not confirmed
Cancellation goes through our team: write to hello@weroad.com with your booking code.
If WeRoad does not confirm the trip, we'll let you know by email and you can choose between a full refund and using the amount for another trip.

Tour confirmed – you paid only the €/£/$100 deposit
In case of cancellation, the deposit paid is not refunded. However, you can change your trip from your MyWeRoad Account and use the amount for another departure.

Tour confirmed – you paid the full amount
In case of cancellation, the amount paid is not refunded. However, you can change your trip from your MyWeRoad Area and use the amount for another departure.

If you cancel within 31 days of departure – Tour confirmed
You can cancel your booking at any time. However, in case of cancellation within 31 days of departure, no refund of the amount paid is provided, nor is it possible to change your trip, unless you have purchased Flexible Cancellation.
The private room fee, included in the price of your trip, is not refunded under any circumstances within this time frame, unless you have purchased Flexible Cancellation.

If you have Flexible Cancellation
With Flexible Cancellation, you may cancel your trip up to 8 days before departure and receive a refund, whatever the reason. The only amount not refunded is the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option itself.

PLEASE NOTE: before cancelling, keep in mind that you can move your booking to another trip or a different date. Find out how!

Generally, our groups have an average of 11 people. Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the US, UK, Europe and beyond. 

Our trips are open to travelers aged 18–53. If you prefer to travel with people closer to your age, some trips have indicated ranges, such as 18–25 or 25–35. We allow a little flexibility on these, as long as you’re up for the pace and energy of the group.

Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Group Leaders, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported. 

If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700 or +12147948826. 

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking. 
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. 

Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation. 

The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

The WeRoad Travel Group Leader is an experienced and skilled traveler who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too! 

The Group Leader will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Group Leader assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here. 

Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travelers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to stay in a mixed-gender room. If needed, only travelers who have opted in to this option may share a room with travel companions of a different gender.

On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travelers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout. 

Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email hello@weroad.com if you have a preference on this. 

Find out the entry requirements for Mexico, and, if needed, apply for your visa through our partner Sherpa.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Mexico – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

• UK residents: review the FCDO Travel Advice.
• US residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
• Other residents: refer to your government or local consulate's travel advice.

Mexico has four time zones, and it can vary depending on where you are in the country. 
Here's a quick breakdown:

• Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Cancun are usually on Central Standard Time (CST), which is 6 hours behind the UK and 1 hour ahead of the Eastern Time Zone in the USA. So, if it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 6am there, and if it is 12pm in New York, it will be 11am there.
• Tijuana is on Pacific Standard Time (PST), 8 hours behind the UK and on the same time as Los Angeles. If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 4am there, and if it is 12pm in Los Angeles, it will be 12pm there.
• The state of Sonora does not observe daylight saving time and remains on Mountain Standard Time (MST).
• Baja California Sur and some parts of Nayarit are on Mountain Time (MT), usually 7 hours behind the UK. If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 5am there, and if it is 12pm in Denver, it will be 12pm there.

Mexico uses the Mexican Peso (MXN) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can fluctuate, but as a rough guide:

• 1 GBP is approximately 24 MXN
• 1 USD is about 18 MXN
• 1 EUR is around 21 MXN

You can exchange currency at banks, official currency exchange offices, and some hotels. It's a good idea to have some pesos on hand when you arrive for immediate expenses.

In Mexico, you can pay using credit and debit cards, which are widely accepted in most places, especially in cities and tourist areas. Visa and MasterCard are the most common, but some places accept American Express too. However, it's a good idea to carry cash for small vendors, markets, and more remote areas where card payments might not be possible. 

ATMs are available for cash withdrawals, just be mindful of transaction fees. Always notify your bank before traveling to avoid any card issues.

Tipping in Mexico is customary and appreciated. In restaurants, it's common to leave a tip of around 10 to 15 percent of the bill. For hotel staff like bellboys or housekeeping, a small tip of 20 to 50 pesos is typical. 

If you take a taxi, tipping isn't mandatory, but rounding up the fare is a nice gesture. Keep some cash handy, as smaller establishments may not accept card tips. Always check your bill since some places might include a service charge.

In Mexico, it's a good idea to buy a local SIM card or an e-SIM data plan for reliable internet. Major providers like Telcel, Movistar, and AT&T offer plans with good coverage. 

Wi-Fi is widely available in cities, hotels, cafes, and many public spaces, but connections can be slow or unreliable in rural areas. If you're planning to explore outside urban areas, a local SIM card will be very useful for staying connected.

In Mexico, the official language is Spanish. While many people in tourist areas speak English, knowing a few Spanish phrases can be really helpful. Here are some useful colloquial expressions you might hear or use:

• Hello - Hola
• Thank you - Gracias
• Please - Por favor
• How much is it? - ¿Cuánto cuesta?
• Where is the bathroom? - ¿Dónde está el baño?

Having these phrases in your pocket can make your experience more enjoyable!

In Mexico, the plugs are of type A and B, similar to those used in the USA. The voltage is 127V, and the frequency is 60Hz. If you are coming from a country that uses different plug types, we suggest you bring a universal adapter to ensure you can charge your devices without any hassle. This way, you'll stay connected and your gadgets will keep running smoothly during your trip.

In Mexico, the main religion is Roman Catholicism. Catholic traditions and customs are very prominent, and you might notice many beautiful churches and religious festivals throughout the country. A significant religious holiday in Mexico is Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe on December 12, celebrated with processions and masses. Another key celebration is Semana Santa, or Holy Week, leading up to Easter, which includes various religious events and activities.

Mexico offers a diverse climate, so your backpack should be ready for various conditions. 
Here's a helpful packing list for Mexico:

• Clothing:
  - Light layers for warm weather
  - A sweater or jacket for cooler evenings
  - Swimwear for beaches or pools
  - A hat for sun protection
• Shoes:
  - Comfortable walking shoes
  - Sandals for the beach
  - Dressier shoes if planning to visit nice restaurants
• Accessories and Technology:
  - Sunglasses
  - Camera or smartphone
  - Power bank
  - Universal adapter if needed
• Toiletries and Medication:
  - Sunscreen
  - Insect repellent
  - Basic first aid kit
  - Common travel medication like pain relievers, anti-diarrheal tablets, and motion sickness pills

Prepare for both urban and rural adventures, and you'll be ready to explore all Mexico has to offer.

Mexico's weather varies greatly depending on the region and time of year. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Coastal Areas (Cancun, Puerto Vallarta): Typically warm and humid with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F) year-round. The dry season is from November to April, making it a great time to visit.
• Central Highlands (Mexico City, Guadalajara): Mild climate with temperatures between 12°C and 24°C (54°F to 75°F). The rainy season is from May to October, so plan accordingly.
• Northern Deserts: Hot summers with temperatures reaching up to 40°C (104°F) and cooler winters averaging 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F).

The best time to visit Mexico overall is during the dry season, from November to April, for pleasant weather conditions.
