Over 27 epic days, this adventure will take you from Mexico City to Guatemala, stopping at all the popular spots and lesser-known secrets along the way. You’ll explore the heart of Mexico's Aztec, Zapotec, Maya and Spanish cultures, tasting pasita in Puebla, visiting the markets of Oaxaca and learning about the textile traditions of Teotitlan del Valle. Take guided tours in Chichen Itza (one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and Palenque, then relax beachside at Playa del Carmen. Amble down the coast to the island paradise of Caye Caulker, cut inland to the lush jungle around San Ignacio, cruise to the vast Rio Dulce, tour Tikal National Park, dance with the locals in Livingston, and finish under the volcano in Antigua.
