Mayan Discovery

Along the way, expect to spot howler monkeys and enjoy stretches of Caribbean beach at Playa del Carmen and Caye Caulker, an island small enough to cycle across in a leisurely afternoon. The tour includes visits to villages like San Ignacio and Mérida, where local cooperatives and art programs provide a glimpse of present-day Mayan culture. The group travels mostly by bus or water taxi, staying in hotels without elevators in many places, a detail worth noting for those with mobility considerations.

Led by local guides and a G Adventures CEO, this small group holiday offers both structure and freedom, inviting you to experience three countries with a focus on archaeological sites, wildlife, and communities accustomed to a slower pace of life.

These are the places the trip visits, in order. G Adventures publishes the day-by-day itinerary on its own site.
