Ancient Mexico: Mayan cities to Aztec Ruins

Mexico’s history unfolds in layers on this 14 day journey, from the Aztec-era capital and Zapotec ruins to the communities, forests and Maya sites of the south. Begin in Mexico City with a chef’s table dinner, then explore Teotihuacán, the historic centre and the artistic neighbourhoods of San Ángel and Coyoacán. In Oaxaca, discover Monte Albán and Mitla before continuing to Chiapas, where Sumidero Canyon, colonial San Cristóbal and Indigenous communities lead towards Toniná, Palenque and the remote ruins of Calakmul. Finish on the Caribbean coast, with Bacalar, cenotes, Chichén Itzá, Sian Ka’an and Tulum before time to snorkel at Yal-Ku Lagoon.
