  • 24 FEB 2025: Campeche

    After breakfast we set out towards Campeche. Along the way we stop in the cosy beach town Champotón to stretch legs and find lunch (not included).
    In the late afternoon we reach the coastal city of Campeche - an often overlooked gem of the Yucatan peninsula - where we stay the night near the waterfront with the city centre just a few minutes walk away. The city's center boasts impeccably preserved Baroque colonial buildings and a walled historical district.
    The actual time driving this day is expected to be around 6 hours.

    Breakfast included.

  • 25 FEB 2025: Mérida

    There will be time for a stroll or a run along the waterfront just across the street from our hotel this morning. Our tour leader and local guide will also conduct a guided tour of Campeche before we're revving up for the next chapter —Mérida! Proudly holding the title of Yucatan's capital, Mérida unfolds as a captivating city, weaving a cultural tapestry blending Maya and Spanish influences. Beyond its historical significance, Mérida stands tall as the safest city in all of Mexico.
    As we roll into Mérida after roughly 3 hours drive, we are met directly by the colonial architecture, the vibrant energy of local markets, and the heartwarming hospitality of its residents.
    Our rooms are most likely not ready at the time we arrive, so our tour leader will take us on a guided walk through the city center pointing out good places to go for lunch and dinner later on.

    Breakfast included.

  • 26 FEB 2025: Chichén Itzá & Playa del Carmen

    After breakfast we head inland for the amazing Chichén Itzá.
    Crowned as one of the 7 Modern Wonders of the World in 2007, this iconic Maya city holds a paramount position in the civilization's history. The renowned pyramid, El Castillo, stands as a geometric, astronomical, and architectural marvel at the heart of the archaeological zone, surrounded by meticulously excavated and reconstructed structures, including an exceptional ball court from the Maya era.
    We will start with a guided tour after which we'll be given time to explore the place at our own pace.
    As we leave Chichén Itzá we continue East to the famous Riviera Maya and Playa del Carmen. As we are now entering the state of Quintana Roo we must change our clocks 1 hour forward, as Quintana Roo operates with Eastern Standard Time and not Central Standard Time.
    In Playa del Carmen we check in to our hotel with All Inclusive and can now kick back and enjoy the real Mexican holiday atmosphere.

    Breakfast & dinner included.
