Epic Mexico, Belize & Guatemala

On this 29-day adventure through Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, you'll discover ancient sites and rich cultures, forging new friendships with your small group of travellers along the way.

Taste tacos on a street food experience in Mexico City, browse traditional handicrafts in Oaxaca and Valladolid, dive into island life and discover the underwater worlds in Belize. Tuck into tasty tamales in Antigua and savour the views of a volcanic horizon at Guatemala’s Lake Atitlan. These three colourful countries have all you need for an epic journey, from the jungle to one of the Seven Wonders of the World!
