Mexico, Belize & Guatemala Adventure

Your adventure starts here - yay! There are no activities planned for today apart from a welcome meeting later, so arrive whenever you like. Enjoy the beach this afternoon and head out for a few margaritas with your group after the meeting.

Today is yours to spend as you choose. Soak up some sun on the beach, or if you're feeling more adventurous, take a trip to Tulum Ruins, take a ferry to Cozumel Island, cool off in a cenote, or go tequila tasting! Save some energy for partying tonight though!

Today we'll cross over into beautiful Belize. There's plenty to fall in love with here, with dazzling beaches, world-class diving, Mayan ruins and a chilled-out attitude. Our home for the next few days is the paradise island of Caye Caulker.

Caulker is so laid-back it's practically horizontal. Think colourful wooden houses, turquoise waters, and reggae beats. It's totally car-free as well! Mellow out on the beach with the Rastas, rent a bike, or take a snorkelling, fishing or diving trip.

We'll head to San Ignacio today with a stop at a pottery cooperative where we'll see the workshop and enjoy a traditional lunch. We'll arrive in San Ignacio this afternoon. Visit the Mountain Pine Ridge area for a river swim or take a trip to the Mayan complex of Xunantunich.

You're a free agent today! Explore the town's markets and cafes, visit some of the local caves on foot or on a cave tubing excursion, go horse-riding, canoeing or visit the Caracol Ruins - the largest Mayan site in Belize. This evening slam a few tequilas with your travel buddies. 

On to Guatemala today! We'll explore the jaw-dropping Mayan ruins at Tikal National Park this afternoon before continuing on to Flores - a pretty island town on Lake Peten Itza. Watch the sun go down at one of the drinking terraces that look out over the lake.

Make the scenic journey to Rio Dulce this morning. The town is on the shores of Lake Izabal and is a great base for exploring the region. This evening grab some delicious Belizean grub and a cold beer on the town with your mates.

Rio Dulce is the jumping off point for some serious adventure. Opt to take a boat ride to the village of Livingston, bathe in the natural hot waterfalls of Finca El Paraiso, explore the Hacienda Tijax on horseback or get up early for a sunrise monkey kayak expedition!

Arrive in Antigua this afternoon, where you'll be taken on an orientation walk. With colourful colonial houses, lively markets and leafy plazas, you'll be spoilt for photo opps. Tonight, why not round your day off with a sultry group salsa lesson?

Today's all yours. Wander the cobbled streets, treat yourself to a Mayan massage, take a cycling tour of the area, hike one of the active local volcanoes or how about a chocolate workshop? Tonight, enjoy some sensual Latin rhythms in the funky bars and cafes.

Today we're off to Panajachel on Lake Atitlán, one of the most beautiful spots in Guatemala. Explore the town, visit the lake villages by boat or take part in some outdoor activities such as swimming, wind surfing, fishing, kayaking or horse riding.

This morning, take the boat across the lake before arriving in San Juan La Laguna - a stunning local village where we'll be spending the night in a homestay. You'll have dinner with a family and get to know all about their life - an amazing cultural experience!

We'll head back to Antigua today. Enjoy some free time in the city. Hang out in the park, sip some Guatemalan coffee or shop for some bargains. You could also visit a macadamia nut or coffee plantation. It's the last night of the trip, so go large in the city's bars and clubs with your crew!

Time to pack your bags and say your goodbyes - your amazing adventure has come to an end.
