        A private visit to Teotihuacan archaeological site

        Visit the ancient city of Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico. This UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site is a complex home to multi-family residential compounds, the avenue of the dead and a small portion of vibrant murals that have been exceptionally well-preserved. The site is seeped in mystery and your guide will share the theories surrounding this mysterious site.

        Museo Frida Kahol, Buenos Aires, Argentina

        Tour Mexico City's best museums

        Your tour starts at Coyoacan which translates as “place of coyotes” and then takes you to the Frida Kahlo museum, also known as the Blue House, which is dedicated to the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It’s then on to the Anahuacalli museum, designed by Diego Rivera and housing his personal collection of pre-Hispanic art as well as his own work. Continue with the world famous National Museum of Anthropology. Your expert guide will add context and colour, with special attention to the Maya and Aztec display.

        Days 4–7

        Exploring San Miguel de Allende

        San Miguel de Allende is rightly considered one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico. During your time here you’ll have the chance to relax and enjoy the charm of the local architecture and the city’s rich historical heritage.

        A private guide will meet you at your hotel and take you on a tour of the city and all its architectural and artistic charms. Part of the excursion will include a fun visit to the Private Collection of Mexican Toys. Highlights also include the San Miguel Arcangel Parish, the craft market and a chance to explore the colourful streets. It’s no wonder San Miguel de Allende has been previously voted the best city in the world by Travel + Leisure.

        Days 7–10

        Mérida: the capital of the Yucatan

        Mérida, the capital of the Yucatan Peninsula, holds many draws. You’ll find it’s a sophisticated base from which to explore all the ruins along the Puuc route. You’ll get to know the flavours of the Yucatán as you explore the city’s ornate streets and vibrant markets, perhaps sampling tacos or dishes like cochinita pibil, traditionally prepared using a Mayan pit-style oven in the ground.

        Days 10–15

        Five days relaxing in Playa Del Carmen

        Playa Del Carmen on the Mayan Riviera is one of the most serenely beautiful coastal areas of Mexico and a great place to switch off and enjoy the tranquil, tropical surroundings. There’s a wide spectrum of activities to choose from during your time here: scuba diving on Isla Cozumel, trips to cenotes, fishing, sailing, watersports, golf, and visiting the wonderful Mayan sites of Tulum and Cobá.
