Yucatan Peninsula Adventure

From tropical beaches and cenotes to the well-preserved ruins of the Maya peoples, the Yucatan Peninsula’s draws are many. On this eight-day adventure, you’ll learn more about the lives of ancient civilisations at Chichen Itza – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – and at Uxmal – another amazing archaeological site, but with fewer tourists. Try traditional cuisine in Piste, swim in clean, clear water unique to this limestone area and visit a Maya-managed cenote that directly supports the community. Try fresh seafood, listen to local music play through the streets of colourful old cities and visit Lake Bacalar – this local favourite is still being discovered by the rest of the world and is known as ‘the Lagoon of 7 Colours’ for its warm blue waters of varying depths.
