Details

Discover Mexico, where jungle temples and abandoned cities make way to colonial towns. This fusion of history has led to a unique culture, encompassing the art of Frida Kahlo and the delicious cuisine of Oaxaca. See it all on a journey from Mexico City to Chichén Itzá, one of the New Wonders of the World. This extra-special adventure, which is one day longer than the standard trip, also spends the day celebrating the Day of the Dead festival in Oaxaca, joining a Zapotec family for a traditional lunch, taking part in a parade and visiting the graveyard at night to see the entire town decorate the graves of their loved ones.

  • Travel from Mexico City to Cancún
  • Discover Oaxaca's intense culinary and artistic traditions
