This trip packs a lot in - culture, Mayan sites, eating, seeing local craftsmen at work, and just soaking up the atmosphere in the old Spanish colonial towns. Around and about in Mexico city, beautiful Puebla, San Cristobal and then lots of Mayan sites.
The hotels were all good (had one slight problem in one of them but hopefully Exodus can get that sorted out for future trips).
There are some long travelling days due to the distances which need to be covered, but it's worth it and a lot of the scenery is just amazing to see.

Discover Mexico, where jungle temples and abandoned cities make way to colonial towns. This fusion of history has led to a unique culture, encompassing the art of Frida Kahlo and the delicious cuisine of Oaxaca. See it all on a journey from Mexico City to Chichén Itzá, one of the New Wonders of the World. This extra-special adventure, which is one day longer than the standard trip, spends a day celebrating the Day of the Dead, witnessing the traditions and visiting the Chamulan village of Romerillo for an authentic experience of the festivities.
