Itinerary at a Glance

Day 1: Saturday - Welcome In Mexico City

As soon as you arrive, the immensity of the city will astound you. Upon arrival, a local agent will greet you and transport you to your accommodation. As the country's capital, "Ciudad de Mexico" is a mosaic of opposites, but it is primarily an experience that brings all of Mexico together. Starting your vacation in Mexico in this location is ideal.

Day 2: Sunday - Historic Center and Anthropology Museum

Learn more about one of the biggest and most intriguing cities in the world! Take advantage of a guided tour of the historical district, which is a World Heritage Site according to UNESCO. This thrilling journey will take you to "The Zocalo," the center of the city, where you will see the Metropolitan Cathedral, one of the oldest and largest in the Americas, and the National Palace (If open, subject to official activity), the location of Diego Rivera's well-known murals. 
In the Aztecs' old capital city of Tenochtitlan, you will also witness the ruins of the Templo Mayor (panoramic tour), one of their most illustrious temples. We next travel through the lovely Paseo de la Reforma Avenue until we reach Chapultepec Park, where we will visit the Anthropology Museum (closed on Mondays). This museum is regarded as one of the best of its sort in the entire globe. The renowned Aztec calendar stone can be found here along with many other fascinating artifacts. One of the best museums in the world, the Museum of Anthropology, may be visited in its whole in a few days. 
Our visit to the Aztec Hall takes about two hours. You might think about staying overnight so you can spend the remainder of the day visiting the museum. If possible, please think about taking a taxi from the museum to your hotel.
 

Meals: Breakfast. 

Day 3: Monday - Pyramids Of Teotihuacan and The Shrine Of Guadalupe

After breakfast the following morning, we stop to the Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a popular destination for pilgrims from all over the world and millions of Mexicans. Learn about Teotihuacán, "the creation location of the gods." 

One of the most significant archaeological sites you will witness during your vacation in Mexico is Teotihuacan. The city is believed to have had 200,000 people living there at the height of its prosperity. Teotihuacán was one of the largest cities in the world and the largest metropolis on the American continent during that time. Teotihuacan was likely the most important and advanced cultural center in ancient Mexico until its residents left the town sometime in the eighth century. You can visit the Temple of the Butterflies, the Avenue of the Dead, the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, and Fortresses while on this guided tour. You can also climb the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon.

 

Meals: Breakfast.

Day 4: Tuesday- Mexico City - Puebla – Oaxaca

We depart from Mexico City today (about at 8:00 am) and will meet you at the lobby of your hotel. As we make our way to Puebla, the fourth-largest city in Mexico, we pass the picturesque, snow-capped volcanoes Popocatépetl (Smoking Mountain, 5464m) and Iztacchuatl. The lovely temple of Santa Maria Tonantzintla, which has been decorated by native people, will be visited. 
We will eat lunch in a neighborhood restaurant before touring Puebla, a World Heritage site also known as the "City of Angels," to see the remarkable Rosary Chapel, the Cathedral, the main square, and its lovely historic district. Continue on to Oaxaca, one of Mexico's most beautiful colonial towns. The beautiful crafts and regional cuisine of Oaxaca (a World Heritage Site) are evidence of the many indigenous traditions that still exist today.
 

Meals: Breakfast, lunch. 

Day 5: Wednesday - Oaxaca - Monte Alban - Mitla – Tule

Visit the Monte Alban archaeological site, which is just a few kilometers outside of Oaxaca. Located on a plateau 1,940 meters above sea level, MonteAlban, which translates to "White Mountain," was the ancient Zapotec capital. Here we will uncover cultural remnants from several civilizations together with many more mysterious structures, like pyramids, temples, tombs, ceremonial rock sculptures, and a court for pre-Hispanicball. Its stunning high location ensures breathtaking views of Oaxaca's lowlands. 
The next stop is Mitla, a former Zapotec ceremonial center. The Mesoamerican city of Mitla is renowned for the magnificent mosaics that adorn its walls and portray various geometric patterns. You can see the 16th-century Church of San Pablo, which was constructed by the Spanish using parts from the ruins, right next to the archaeological site. We will stop to take in the Tule tree, arguably one of the most significant living things in the world, on the way back to Oaxaca. In Oaxaca, we'll see the Cathedral, the majestic Santo Domingo church, the Museum of Gold, and the vibrant "20 de Noviembre" market once more. 

Day 6: On Thursday, travel to Oaxaca, Sumidero Canyon, and San Cristobal.

We will leave for the picturesque state of Chiapas quite early in the morning (about 4:00 am). The highlight of the day will be a boat journey through the Sumidero Canyon, which is 1,000 meters high at its deepest point. Visit the Grijalvariver's beaches to admire the stunning rock formations and take in the plethora of animals that resides there (crocodiles, spider monkeys, and many different bird species). On our way to San Cristobal de las Casas, we will then drive via the historically noteworthy village of Chiapa de Corzo.
We sincerely ask that you keep in mind that this day will be long one due to the distance traveled and the time required for travel between cities. There is always the alternative to fly from Oaxaca to Tuxtla instead of taking this tiresome journey. For more information, kindly contact us.
 

Meals: Breakfast. 

Day 7: Friday - Indigenous Communities

A trip filled with mysticism is planned for today. In the Chiapas highlands, visit the native communities of San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan. Both Tzotzil Maya settlements accurately depict Chiapas' diverse ethnic makeup. They still exhibit a wide range of traditions and beliefs that are expressed in both Christian and pagan traditions—afternoon at leisure. We advise you to take extra time to visit the lovely city of San Cristobal de las Casas, which is home to a vibrant market, the cathedral, and the Jade Museum, among other things.
 

Meals: Breakfast. 

Day 8: Saturday - San Cristobal - Agua Azul – Palenque

We'll stop at the Agua Azul waterfalls en route to Palenque. These waterfalls' distinctive turquoise color results from the high abundance of minerals in the water. Enjoy the jungle surroundings and go swimming (if time permits). After that, Palenqueas will be our final stop for the day as we proceed into the verdant jungle. Dinner was served in the evening.
 

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner. 

Day 9: Sunday - Palenque – Campeche

Undoubtedly one of the most significant Mayan World sites, Palenque's archaeological zone deserves your attention while having your vacation in Mexico. The seventh century saw the city of Lakamha, as it was known to the ancient Maya, grow. It gained notoriety during the reign of fabled King Pakal, whose burial was discovered in one of Palenque's most recognizable structures, the Temple of the Inscriptions. Some of the most spectacular architecture, sculptures, and carvings created by the ancient Maya may be found in this wrecked city. 
Enjoy a guided tour while admiring the stunning natural setting and spectacular buildings of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Following this stop, we continue on to Campeche, a lovely town with a rich maritime history, ornate Spanish baroque architecture, and a fading beauty. The city has spent the last few years renovating hundreds of old structures in its downtown, making it one of Mexico's most picturesque colonial towns. You will have a panoramic tour of the city when you arrive. Dinner in the evening.
 

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner. 

Day 10: Monday - Campeche - Uxmal – Merida

We will stop in at the Puuc region's Uxmal, which translates to "built three times," on the road to Merida. One of the Maya cities most emblematic of the Puuc architecture, the predominate architectural style in the region, is Uxmal, which is also recognized as a World Heritage site. Discover the Governor's mansion, the ball court, the Magician Pyramid, and the Nuns' Quadrangle. Following this stop, you'll have lunch at a nearby restaurant before continuing on to Merida. The Spaniard Francisco de Montejo founded the "White City" in 1542. Present-day Yucatan's Mexican state's capital city has a significant Mayan cultural heritage impact, gorgeous architecture, lovely parks, and delectable cuisine. When we arrive in Merida, we'll take a panoramic tour that shows off the city's top attractions (Montejo Avenue and the Plaza Grande).
 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch. 

Day 11: Tuesday - Merida - Chichen Itza – Cancun

Chichen Itza was one of the biggest and most important Maya cities you will visit during your vacation in Mexico. It indicates the end of the Early Classic Period, roughly 600 AD. Currently, Chichen Itza is without any doubt the Yucatan Peninsula's best-preserved Maya site, and it was just named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. In Chichen Itza, different architectural types can be seen. 
The Kukulkan Temple ("El Castillo"), the Ballgame Court, the Platform of the Skulls, the Temple of the Jaguar, the Observatory, the One Thousand Columns, and the Sacred Cenote are the most well-known attractions.
