Essential Mexico

Mexico City and the vestiges of the Maya civilization, especially those in Chiapas and Yucatan, are at the core of this short but exiting tour, which has much to offer in terms of landscape and emotion. At the gates of the capital city you will visit the majestic Aztec site of Teotihuacan, with its gigantic pyramids. In Chiapas, at the heart of the jungle, the stunning site of Palenque will leave you awestruck; and the Museo de la Venta in Villahermosa will unfold the mystery of its Olmec sculpture before you. In the Yucatan peninsula you will see the port of Campeche, fortified to resist the assaults of the pirates; the outstanding archaeological sites of Uxmal and Chichen Itza; the beautiful Merida, with its colonial buildings; and, finally, the turquoise sea and Caribbean climate of the Riviera Maya. This is a week you won't forget.,
