Monte Alban

Tour: The Mayan Trail

Our two week itinerary starts in Mexico City and ends on the coast on the Riviera Maya. It provides a great introduction to some of the pre-Colombian civilisations, the Aztecs, Totlecs, Zapotecs and of course, the Maya. Our tour of Mexico City includes the important Anthropology museum and excursion to the Aztec site of Teotihuacan. From Mexico City you fly to the wonderful colonial city of Oaxaca with excursions to the archeological sites at Monte Alban and Mitla.

Then travel to Palenque to see the important ruins there, attractively set in pristine jungle. From here you will fly to Merida, with visits to both Uxmal and Chichen Itza before ending the itinerary with four nights relaxation on the beach at the luxury La Maroma hotel on the Riviera Maya.
