Discover iconic culture rich cities, charming towns, ancient Mayan ruins, local traditions, and fantastic food as you explore Mexico in depth - From NZD $9,291 / per person

 

Tour Description

Mexico City offers everything from local markets, cobblestone streets of traditional neighborhoods, the pyramids of Teotihuacan and the renowned National Anthropology Museum, home of the beautiful Aztec sun calendar, to fine dining, arts and music. Stay in the charming colonial city of San Cristóbal de las Casas, a great base from which to explore the nearby villages of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan. Visit their famous church blending traditional practices with Catholic traditions, shop in the local markets and visit weavers homes, to learn more of the local culture direct from those who are descended from the ancient Maya. Explore the walled city of Campeche, known for its beautifully preserved baroque colonial buildings, and fort that was constructed in response to pirate attacks.  

Explore the ancient Mayan world and ruins by visiting Bonampak, the city of Palenque as well as two of Mexico's most beautiful Mayan cities, Uxmal and Kabah, and visit one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza. Take some down time to relax, spend your days soaking up the sun  in either Playa del Carmen or Cancun, on white sand beaches and swimming in turquoise oceans.
