GAdventures offer all you need for a convenient and safe vacation time. The sceneries during this tour are quite diverse and always breathtaking. Palenque was my highlight. I highly recommend a jungle hike in the early morning (with termites for breakfast!) and a swim in the waterfalls in the afternoon.

This was an incredible opportunity to commune with ancient and current Mayan culture. I had powerfully deep experiences with the ancient ruins and the church that we visited that I will always remember. The lessons learned from the Mayan history and culture were impactful as I reflect on the current times we are in. I would absolutely recommend this trip to others. It is my favorite G Adventure's tour.
