Viva Mexico: Ancient Ruins & the Mayan Riviera

Mexico City → Tulum 14 days Up to 18

About this trip

Two weeks across Mexico, starting in the capital and finishing on the beaches of the Mayan Riviera. Expect plenty of ground covered — mountains, jungle, waterfalls and two of the country's most famous ruin sites — with proper time built in for the food.

This is a guided group trip with private rooms throughout, so you get your own space at the end of each day without losing the shared, sociable side of travelling as a group.

It suits people who want the big Mexico landmarks and a genuine feel for the country's history, without having to plan the logistics themselves.

What you'll do

  • Explore Mexico City
  • Visit the Mayan ruins at Palenque and Chichen Itza
  • Eat your way through regional dishes including tacos and mole
  • See mountain, jungle and waterfall scenery en route
  • Finish on the white sand beaches of the Mayan Riviera
Good to know
  • Easy-paced, fully guided throughout
  • Private rooms rather than dorms or shared bunks
  • Covers a lot of the country in 14 days, from the capital to the Caribbean coast
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want to cram Mexico's diversity into two weeks with a solid guide. Think twice if you hate packing constantly.

  • CEO Pamela was exceptional; guides genuinely cared about group wellbeing and local knowledge.
  • Covers wildly different landscapes, cities, and cultures; you'll see far more than going solo.
  • Moving every two days or less; the pace is relentless and heat exhaustion is a real factor.
  • Some optional activities don't deliver as advertised; check specifics before booking add-ons.
