This trek is an exciting
mix of tropical Mexico, ancient Mayan Indian cultures,
steamy jungles, mystical highlands and the enchanting,
inviting beaches of the Caribbean.
Discover the fascinating, ancient
Mayan city of Chichen Itza before heading to the capital
of the Yucatan, Merida. We can shop in the large markets,
dine in the outdoor cafes and discover the cultural
heritage of this great colonial city.
Travel into the heart of the
Yucatan to see the Pyramid of the Magician at the
fabled city of Uxmal. Enter the Jungles of the Lacendon
which surround the mystical city of Palenque. The
Temple of Inscriptions stands serenely upon the central
plaza, where one can scan the horizon from the palace
steps, as did the Mayan rulers centuries ago.
Jungle gives way to the lush
mountain highlands of Chiapas, passing quaint Indian
villages, bountiful coffee plantations and the refreshing
waterfalls of Agua Azul en route to San Cristobal
de las Casas. Wander its bustling streets, teeming
with colourful Indian markets and beautiful handicrafts.
Outlying villages, such as
San Juan Chamula, where the present day Mayans are
garbed in their traditional clothing and speak Tzetzal
and Tzotzil dialects, the languages of their ancestors.
Drop out of the highlands
and cross the vast Yucatan Peninsula, passing pyramids
and ancient cities of the Maya before arriving at
the Caribbean coast in Quintana Roo.Stop
for a refreshing swim in the exotic lagoon of Bacalar
- a fitting introduction to the relaxed pace of the
Caribbean.
Our coastal camp near Tulum
is surrounded by swaying palm trees, white sandy beaches
and sparkling blue waters. Days are spent relaxing
on pristine beaches, visiting nearby resorts or exploring
underwater wonders of natural parks such as Xel Ha,
before returning to Cancun.
