- From ancient temples and cities to colonial town
- Highlands, jungles and coastlines
The tour Mexico: Mayans, Aztecs & Conquistadors starts in Mexico City and ends in Cancún. It is a local culture trip that takes 15 days taking you through Mexico City, Uxmal, Campeche and 9 other destinations in Mexico. Mexico: Mayans, Aztecs & Conquistadors is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
Few countries can compete with Mexico when it comes to unleashing the inner Indiana Jones in each of us. Jungle clad temples and abandoned ancient civilisations make way to colonial era towns with cobbled streets and Spanish architecture. This fusion of history has led to Mexico’s unique culture from the art of Frida Kahlo to Oaxaca’s succulent cuisine. Uncover the country’s historical and cultural layers as we journey from the highlands of Mexico City to the jungles and beaches of the Yucatan via the lands of Aztecs, Zapotec, Mayas and Conquistadors.

“If you want to see the real Mexico then this is the trip to take. Who needs Cancun when you can stay in some of the best small hotels that Mexico has to offer and eat some great food every day (that's where the chilli and lime comes in - if Fernando is your guide you will soon understand my comment!!). The beach hotel in Tulum is especially good. I just hope you don't get the rain that i experienced, I'm sure it does look good in the sunshine.
The days start early but you really do want to beat the heat if you can. Starting early means you get to hear the sounds of the cicadas, birds and general jungle noises before the heat of the day quietens everything down. The cool air and the sun rising through a hazy fog is a beautiful sight at 6.30am.
The cycling is steady and on very flat tarmac roads - but they are LONG !! Beware of the hill though - you will be warned and as it's at the end of a long day it might tax your energy !! This holiday is not for those who want to go off road - apart from one road in the middle of the holiday which might or might not be finished.
You will see the wildlife - most of it is as you are riding along, so stop and take a look at the baby turtles or millipede or tarantula crossing the road. Oh yes and the Turkey Vultures flying overhead!
All of the hotels were quality places and are comfortable and clean.
You will also be very well looked after by your guide Fernando (what he doesn't know about Mayan history isn't worth knowing ) and Edgar, who will make sure your bike is in top class order and also keep you entertained especially if you have a decent play-list on your i-Pod and supply him with Aldi Mint Imperials and Fruit Pastilles !!
This really is a great trip and i had a brilliant time and learnt so much about Mexico and it's very friendly people.”

“The staff, equipment, accomodations, location, food, and activities were outstanding. I loved staying, dogsledding and snowshoeing in pristine, gorgeous, magical suroundings. There were plenty of activities to do/try as a group or on my own with new found friends. All the winter clothing and equipment available made the trip particularly stress free and easy to pack for.
I loved every minute of this trip and highly recommend it!”
