Get beyond the beaches on a family-friendly Yucatan adventure
Take the kind of tropical holiday your kids will talk about for years on this 7-day Yucatan adventure that takes you from the sunny beaches to lush cenotes, lost ruins and bustling cities along the way.
Discover the culture and history of the Maya at Chichen Itza and Tulum; take a dip in the turquoise waters of a cenote at Yokdzonot; try your hand at tortilla-making with a Maya family and watch the flamingos paint the sky pink at the Ría Celestún Bird Sanctuary.
There’s so much more to Mexico than beaches and palm trees, and this family-friendly trip gets you to all of it.
- Revel in the beach vibes of Playa del Carmen.
- Explore ancient Maya ruins and pyramids at Tulum and Chichen Itza.
- Discover the charm of Merida’s leafy plazas, captivating museums and vibrant city streets.
- Meet local Maya families and learn how to make your own tortillas and dine on a pibil feast baked underground.
- Swim in the crystal-clear fresh waters of a cenote, one of many that some say were formed by the same asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Mexico's tropical climate can get really hot and humid. Wear loose clothing and always carry plenty of water with you and stay hydrated, especially on walking tours.
Try to learn as many Spanish words as you can. Locals are very friendly, but also shy, so you'll need to make plenty of effort to break the ice. Attempting to communicate in Spanish is a great way of showing you care.
