Mayan Encounter

One highlight is a guided exploration of Tikal, where the calls of howler monkeys echo from the heights of Temple IV. After the ruins and jungle lodge stay, the pace slows among the white sands and reggae rhythms of Belize’s Caye Caulker. Days here can be spent snorkelling alongside stingrays or simply watching sunsets that colour the Caribbean sky.

The trip rounds off in the bustling resort town of Playa del Carmen,tinged with youthful energy and good food. Your chief experience officer and local guides take care of transport and logistics between points, allowing a certain freedom to wander the streets or take in a few optional excursions. It’s an expedition that does justice to this tri-nation corner of Central America, without rushing its easygoing charm.

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