On this adventure you'll visit the best and most colourful markets in the region, meet the friendly locals and travel through spectacular scenery.

The resort of Canc n has miles of inviting beaches and beautiful offshore islands to explore. Time to relax on the beach or take an optional afternoon trip to the island of Cozumel.
Further south lies English speaking Belize, a former British colony.
It's from here we visit the most imposing of the Mayan cities, Tikal, set among a series of jungle trails with awe-inspiring plazas, temples and pyramids with the sound of howler monkeys screeching in the background. A short flight brings us to the sprawling capital, Guatemala City. We travel on to the old capital, Antigua, a beautiful colonial town with wide cobbled streets filled with ornate churches and fine buildings, one of the most attractive towns in the Americas. There are stunning views across Lake Atitl n on the way to the lakeside town of Panajachel. There is the option to cross the lake to remote Indian villages.
