Temples and pyramids of the Mayan, Toltec, Zapotec and Aztec civilisations litter this route. Teotihuacan, with its massive pyramids, Chichen Itza, Monte Alban, Palenque, and Tikal, are proud statements of their ancient past. Although the pace of this trip is relaxed, there are ample opportunities to raise your pulse rate; try cave diving, jungle walks, sea kayaking, horse riding, or a jungle trek and caving expedition; it's up to you. Scuba lovers will have the opportunity to experience diving the Belize Cayes barrier reef.
Operating our own fully equipped vehicles with two western crew members allows you secure hassle free travel. You will travel in a comfortable well maintained, safely driven expedition vehicle that will take you from A to B with a minimum of fuss. Our vehicles are fully lockable and have safes for added security. This trip provides a secure way to explore an unfamiliar world.
Most people will be aged in their twenties or thirties, but we do have a number of older participants. Our groups are international and they come from all walks of life. The mix of sexes is usually even, some come as couples but most are individuals. Some come as seasoned travellers, others are just starting out. But what they all share is a love of adventure and discovery.
