Explore Central America - Rute de Maya adventure tour

Product Details

About this adventure tour...

Retrace the steps of the Mayans in this mystical land of tropical forests, hidden swimming holes and ancient ruins.

High adventure awaits on the path of the Ruta de Maya - explore lost cities, sub-tropical rain forests, and pristine Caribbean beaches in three different countries.

The journey begins with visits to major centres of ancient Mayan culture, Chichen Itza and Uxmal, as well as experiencing the modern-day Mayan descendants in the capital of the Yucatan, Merida. Leaving Mexico behind, travel into Belize - a diverse country where English, Spanish and Afro-Caribbean people have melted together, forming a truly unique culture. Boat to the idyllic tropical island of Cay Caulker and explore the diverse sea life of the coral reef.

Next, to Guatemala and visit Tikal, a "World Heritage Site" and arguably the most spectacular ruins in the Mayan world. Its pyramids reach for the skies, high above the forest cover, giving a bird's eye view of its magnificent jungle surroundings along with many courtyards and altars that adorn this fascinating cultural centre.

Returning to Belize, camp at San Ignacio and canoe down the Macal River through spectacular jungle scenery. Finally, back to Mexico for a refreshing swim in Cenote Azul, before settling into our camp on the Caribbean coast.

Swim, snorkel and scuba dive the turquoise waters and coral reefs of this tropical paradise or watch the world go by from a hammock under palm trees at the edge of a white sandy beach, before returning to Cancun and the end of this Mayan adventure.

NB: This tour operates in either direction.
