Itinerary

We will meet at the airport at 4.15pm, for our Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul that leaves at 7.15pm and arrives at 10.50pm. We later proceed with the next flight to Mexico City, departing at 1.45am and arriving at 7.05am. On arrival we are transferred to our hotel and check in at Regente City in Mexico City (or similar).

Breakfast at the hotel and afterwards we make our way to the Anthropology Museum that is considered one of the world's finest museums. Its most famous exhibit is the Aztec sun stone, a cosmological calendar. We then are transferred to Xochimilco and take a 1 hour tour in trajinera (little boat). Nahuatl name means "field of flowers" and is a set of channels that exist from pre-Hispanic times. You can still see chinampas, which are artificial crops created on the lake. Lunch at the trajinera (extra). We then continue to downtown and see the National Palace, Metropolitan Cathedral and Zocalo Square.

After breakfast, we depart to Guadalupe Shrine and Three Culture Square: The Basilica of Guadalupe is a shrine in Mexico City that is an important Catholic pilgrimage site and one of the most visited churches in the world. Tlatelolco Square in Mexico City, D. F. (now Three Cultures square) holds a special place in the history of Mexico, and in the hearts and minds of her people. Later, continue to Teotihuacan and visit the site: Teotihuacan is one of the most impressive urban architectural complexes in ancient America, and one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in the world. Teotihuacan’s name, "the place where men become gods," expresses what the city meant to the Aztecs.

After breakfast and then we are transferred to the airport for our flight to Tuxtla Gutierrez. Upon arrival, we make our way to the Grijalva River Pier to observe the geological wonder that gives the place the well-known name of the “Cañon del Sumidero” (sinkwell canyon), whilst enjoying the diversity of flora and fauna characteristic of the area. Later we proceed to the colonial city of San Cristobal de Las Casas. Overnight at Dmonica Hotel (or similar).

Today we have an early departure to visit Agua Azul waterfalls where we admire the turquoise-coloured waters. These are a series of waterfalls found on the Xanil River in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. After this visit, we continue our journey to Palenque. Upon arrival, we check in at our hotel Tulija Palenque (or similar).

In the morning after breakfast, we visit Palenque and later continue to Campeche and visit San Miguel Fort, built in the late eighteenth century for fear of being attacked by pirates. The city of Campeche earned its United Nations World Heritage designation primarily for its network of city walls, bastions, and forts, and visiting them is high on travelers’ lists. Most have been meticulously restored. We proceed to hotel Francis Drake (or similar) and overnight.

Breakfast – Today we visit a small village of Becal, located just at the border of Yucatan and Campeche states. We visit 17-century colonial church and learn about the process of making Panama hats from palm fiber, watch a demonstration by local artisans who have been working inside caves for generations. Afterwards we continue to Uxmal, an ancient Maya city of the classical period. Lodging at the hotel Uxmal Resort Maya (or similar).

Breakfast and in the morning we visit Uxmal Site - a large pre-Columbian ruined city of the Maya civilization in the state of Yucatán, Mexico. The place name is Pre-Columbian and it is usually assumed to be an archaic Maya language phrase meaning "Built Three Times’’. We later visit the city Merida, known as the White City, nowadays one of the most tranquil and safest cities in Mexico. The remote Mayan roots, superb colonial monuments and its splendour go back to the XIX century architecture, and has made Merida a captivating mixture of cultural influences. Overnight at Residencial (or similar).

Breakfast at the hotel. Today we visit Celestun, a beautiful estuary of pink flamingos. The estuary is a natural breeding ground for flamingos and other birds. Watch numerous birds flock on shore as they eat the shrimp-like crustaceans that give the flamingos their unique pink colour. The declared Biosphere Reserve is one of the only places in the world to view such numbers of these fascinating birds in the wild!

Today, after we have breakfast, we set off to Izamal, considered as a colonial jewel because all the buildings are painted with an intense yellow colour. The Ex-Franciscan convent that was built over the Mayan pyramids using the stones of them for its construction. We then continue to visit Chichen-Itza, the most famous archaeological site in Mexico for its extraordinary architecture and its beautiful geographical location. Later continue to Ik kil, a wonderful park that is surrounded by exotic plants and trees, the main attraction of Ik kil is the majestic cenote, as you enter and go down the stone steps a platform that gives you access to the crystal clear and fresh water. Where one can swim, the rental of a life jacket is included. Continue to Valladolid and overnight at Meson Del Marques (or similar).

Breakfast. Today we visit Valladolid. Discover the altarpiece carved in wood and strewn with gold, the Franciscan frescoes that reveal the evangelization process of early converts to Catholicism, and the extensive gardens. We continue and visit Tulum. The ruins of TULUM were an essential part for the Mayans. We see the only Archaeological Zone located in front of the Caribbean Sea. In Tulum we will have the opportunity to walk on the Ancient Paths just as the Mayan Priests did. Later continue to Cancun and spend the night at hotel Krystal Cancun (or similar).
