From Oaxaca, the route winds through Chiapas’s highlands and rainforest canyons to Palenque, where dense jungle hides the tomb of the Maya high priest Pakal. After crossing into Guatemala, the tour lingers at lakeside Flores, then visits the vast ruins of Yaxha and the rainforest city of Tikal, where pyramid tops offer unexpected views over the canopy.
The journey ends with a Belize island stop by Caye Caulker, then finishes along the Yucatan coast, visiting clifftop Tulum, colourful Valladolid and the lesser-known but impressive Uxmal near Merida. Its pace means plenty of time on the road, but also chance to steady the legs and absorb the extraordinary heritage from Aztec to Maya.
