ARCHAEOLOGY AND MAGIC IN MEXICO 11 days / 10 nights

Mexico has many archaeological sites. Along thousands of years, many cultures have settled the Mexican territory from north to south. Zapotecs and Olmecs have dominated during the preclassic era (Formative Period between 2000 BC and 250 AD)) where large-scale ceremonial architecture, cities and states developed. They dominated the corn, built pyramids, made human sacrifices and worshiped the jaguar. During this period arose also the Teotihuacan civilisation in the Valley of Mexico; the Maya civilization began to develop in the modern-day Guatemala and the Yucatan Peninsula. The classic period (250 900 AD) was dominated by numerous independent city-states in the Maya region. Monte Albán dominated the Valley of Oaxaca until the late Classic. In the Maya region, under considerable military influence by Teotihuacan, numerous city states such as Tikal, Uaxactun, Calakmul, Copán, Quirigua, Palenque, Cobá, and Caracol reached their zeniths.

In the Postclassic Period (900 1521 AD) many of the great nations and cities of the Classic Era collapsed, although some continued, such as in Oaxaca, Cholula, and the Maya of Yucatan, Chichen Itza and Uxmal. The Toltec for a time dominated central Mexico in the 9th 10th century, then collapsed. The northern Mayas were for a time united under Mayapan. Oaxaca was briefly united by Mixtec rulers in the 11th 12th centuries.

The Aztec Empire arose in the early 15th century and appeared to be on a path to asserting dominance over the Valley of Mexico region not seen since Teotihuacan. By the 15th century, the Mayan 'revival' in Yucatan and southern Guatemala and the flourishing of Aztec imperialism evidently enabled a renaissance of fine arts and science.

We will visit some of these sites during this tour, with professional guides.

MEXICO COLONIAL CITIES 2024 9 days / 8 nights

If you are expecting to get a real taste of Mexican culture, the colonial Mexican cities deliver this in spades since they are colorful, surprising and absolutely enchanting. To understand this, it is important to remark that the colonial era in Mexico started in 1517 when explorer Francisco Hernández de Córdoba landed on the Yucatan coast. A subsequent expedition by Juan de Grijalva confirmed a land dominated by a powerful people and four years later, in 1521, Hernan Cortes landed on the coast of Veracruz and made his way to Tenochtitlán, the center of power of the Aztec empire. then moved through the present-day Mexican territory, seeking to make their fortunes from precious metals, those days in abundance but with only religious purposes: Gold and silver.

The cities we are proposing to visit in this trip have historical centers often listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With its tangle of cobblestone streets, plenty restaurants, gorgeous colonial mansions and courtyards hidden behind big wooden doors, San Miguel de Allende is the city we would like to recommend for a first-time taste of colonial Mexico. Then we will visit Guanajuato, a university town younger and more Mexican than San Miguel de Allende. through an amazing network of one-way tunnels. This makes the city very pedestrianfriendly. Our next visit is Querétaro, one of the best cities in Mexico to visit for pleasant weather with a spring-like climate all year-round. Its colonial center still evokes a quaint charm. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is full of twisting alleys with restored colonial homes, Baroque churches and parks. Visiting Morelia you will feel getting back on time hundreds of years. The downtown center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brimming with more than 200 colonial buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

But something that stands out is the merge of colonial and traditional Mesoamerican influences (say Arztec or Mayan) that have grown together for many centuries, integrating two cultures and adding the mestizo line to the history of these cities.

COLONIAL MEXICO DELUXE 10 days / 9 nights

After thousands of years living in peace and (dis)harmony, the mexican cultures were confronted with the arrival of the Spanish Conquerors. One of these cultures, the Aztec empire reached its height in the early 16th century, under Emperor Moctezuma when Spanish adventurers were swarming by the hundreds to the West Indies, following the discovery of the Americas in 1492 by Christopher Columbus.

The first contact with Mexico occurred in 1517, when explorer Francisco Hernández de Córdoba landed on the Yucatan coast. A subsequent expedition by Juan de Grijalva confirmed a land dominated by a powerful people who were despised by those forced to pay tribute to them. Four years later, in 1521, Hernan Cortes landed on the coast of Veracruz and made his way to Tenochtitlán, the center of power of the Aztec empire today, ruins of the Templo Mayor archaeology site in the center of Mexico City. After many alliances with local groups, Cortes was received by Moctezuma with honors, fearing that they may be gods, according to an ancient prophecy. Finally, Moctezuma died and Cuathemoc, his follower was defeated, allowing a new era that lasted 300 years, expanding the territories of New Spain under the control of local viceroys, named by the Spanish crown. During this time, the Spaniards settled in Mexico imposing their culture, religion, traditions and also architecture upon the indigenous inhabitants.

This period is known as the colonial era and that´s what we want to show you. Every city that you will visit has important traces of the Spanish culture, their cities were founded on previous grounds where Aztecs, Mayas and other cultures once lived, the catholic religion showed their presence in every city with huge churches and even the Spanish gastronomy started to show their influence.

This trip is aimed to show you the most relevant cultures from Mexico City through Cancún in the Yucatan Peninsula. We will start visiting Teotihuacan, that began as a religious center in the Mexican Highlands around the first century AD; it became the largest and most populated center in the pre-Columbian Americas. Monte Alban was a civic ceremonial center situated atop an artificially leveled ridge. Besides being one of the earliest cities of Mesoamerica, Monte Albán was important for nearly one thousand years as the pre-eminent Zapotec socio-political and economic center. Then, we will see Mitla,is the most important site of the Zapotec culture that became the main religious one in a later period as the area became dominated by the Mixtec. It follows Palenque, a Maya city state in southern Mexico that perished in the 8th century, is a medium-sized site that contains some of the finest architecture, sculpture, roof comb and bas-relief carvings that the Mayas produced. Next is Uxmal, considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture. It is located in the Puuc region of the eastern Yucatán Peninsula, and it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its significance. Finally, you will have the opportunity to visit Chichen Itzá, a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period.

We will also show you many important cities on the way to Cancún, cities that were founded by the Spanish conquerors and left a very significant sample of their culture. Nevertheless, the native traditions never disappear and merge with the other creating a newly mestizo culture.

These conquistadores wrote their experiences and they also wrote history. Many indigenous chroniclers wrote also their stories and with all these information archeologists and epigraphers made the pre-columbian history known.

Human presence in the Mexican region was once thought to date back 40,000 years but recent studies and research settled the earliest human remains in Mexico back to 21,000 years. Between 1800 and 300 BC, complex cultures began to form. Many matured into advanced pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations such as the: Olmec, Izapa, Teotihuacan, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, Huastec, Purépecha, Totonac, Toltec, and Aztec, which flourished for nearly 4,000 years before the first contact with Europeans.

And our first contact with pre-hispanic history will be in Mexico City where our guide will explain to you about the Aztecs and its relationship with Tenochtitlan, a Mexican city-state (or polities) in what is now the historic center of Mexico City. The exact date of the founding of the city built on an island is unclear and it was the capital of the expanding Aztec Empire in the 15th century until it was captured by the Spanish in 1521.

40 Km. northeast from Mexico city is located Teotihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican city located in the Valley of Mexico, known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas, namely Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. Our next pre-columbian visit is Palenque, a Maya city state in southern Mexico that perished in the 8th century. The Palenque ruins date from ca. 226 BC to ca. 799 AD. After its decline, it was overgrown by the jungle of cedar, mahogany, and sapodilla trees, but has since been excavated and restored. Palenque contains some of the finest architecture, sculpture, roof comb and bas-relief carvings that the Mayas produced. And finally, we will go to one of the most visited archeological sites in Mexico, Chichen Itzá, a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. Enjoy this intensive trip to the past and enjoy also the present-day cities that you will visit, the gastronomy, the traditions, the colonial influence.

MEXICAN CULINARY EXPERIENCE 7 days / 6 nights Wherever you go in Mexico, you will find awesome culinary delicacies, from simple tacos to sophisticated moles. And every region has their own specialties, being taco the king of gastronomy at national level. The taco is the genius of simplicity applied to food preparation. It is a tortilla folded or rolled around almost any type of food, which can then be eaten by hand. A staple of the Mexican diet for thousands of years before the Spanish Conquest in the 15th century, the taco has now conquered the rest of the world. But no matter how global the taco has now become, its pedigree remains undisputedly Mexican. Moreover, tacos are extremely adaptable to what each region has to offer: filled with beef, pork or seafood, vegetables, eggs or cheese; garnished with all kinds of pepper, greens and salsa, usually topped with cebollita y cilantro (diced onion and coriander). And as a matter of fact, tacos can be bought from almost any street food vendor in Mexico, which are often found in abundance in every single village.

Otherwise, check out the indoor markets, as there will always be at least one taco stand to satisfy your taco cravings.

2024 IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CORTES AND MEXICAN GULF CULTURES 10 days / 09 nights Hernan Cortes de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, 1st Marquess of the Valley of Oaxaca is the most famous Spaniard who conquered Mexico and confronted the Aztecs under the command of Moctezuma. In February 1519, Hernán Cortés set sail from Cuba to Mexico with 11 ships and 550 men. Four months later, Cortés founded Villa Rica de la Veracruz, the first city on American continent. The conquistadores set course for the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, where they were received by Montezuma II. They would capture and kill the Aztec emperors, destroy the Aztec civilization and claim the empire for Spain. He brought large portions of what is now mainland Mexico under the rule of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. Cortés was part of the generation of Spanish explorers and conquistadors who began the first phase of the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Cortes´s invasion route started in the coast of Veracruz to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. On his way to Tenochtitlán -the present-day Mexico City, Cortés made alliances with indigenous peoples such as the Totonacs and the Nahuas. The Otomis and the Tlaxcalans were first enemies but later join him as allied. Cortes saw also the magnificence of the indigenous architecture.

THE GREAT MEXICO TOUR 14 days/13 nights

HALF BOARD

Mexico is one of the 10 most visited countries worldwide. The reason is not only the offer they have but the warmth of their people and the gastronomy. Wherever you go, you will be always welcome with a nice smile and they will do everything to make you feel like home.

There are so many things to see in Mexico, that is not possible to visit everything in one tour; not even easy to summarize what you would like to visit. However, there is one trip that is the standard for the first visit, and we called it GREAT MEXICO TOUR. Start the tour in Mexico City, your first encounter with the pre-hispanic cultures that will accompany you along this trip. Also, the Spanish influence will flourish in every visit, especially in Puebla, Oaxaca, Merida and Campeche. Enjoy the Pacific Ocean and compare it with the Caribbean. That will probably help you to decide for your next visit to Mexico.

Nature is also very impressive in this trip. Enjoy the Cañon del Sumidero, with a boat ride that will give you an unforgettable experience. See also the Agua Azul, a waterfall with stunning views. The Sierra de Chiapas offers you a different landscape than the one you will find in Campeche and Merida and finally, the beautiful shores and waters of the Caribbean at the riviera Maya.

Mexico was made of many prehispanic cultures. Your encounter with them will start in Teotihuacan, then you will see Monte Alban and Mitla in Oaxaca. Palenque, Chichen Itzá and Uxmal complete the visit of ancient Mexico. Last but not least, we are offering you a HALF BOARD package for you to taste the delicious mexican gastronomy, from tacos to enchiladas.

GROUP DEPARTURES Mexico and Guatemala have one issue in common: Die Maya culture. Mexico shows the splendor of this pre-hispanic culture and Guatemala shows a lively Mayan culture. Both countries also show colorful colonial cities.

On this trip, we will help you to discover the mysterious Mayan civilization, one of the most dominant Indigenous societies of Mesoamerica (a term used to describe Mexico and Central America before the 16th century Spanish conquest).

The Maya were centered in one geographical block covering all of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and the western part of Honduras and El Salvador. Within that expanse, the Maya lived in three separate sub-areas with distinct environmental and cultural differences: the northern Maya lowlands on the Yucatan Peninsula; the southern lowlands in the Peten district of northern Guatemala and adjacent portions of Mexico, Belize and western Honduras; and the southern Maya highlands, in the mountainous region of southern Guatemala.

The Mayas were an agricultural culture, cropping corn (maize), beans, squash and cassava (manioc) and very religious and cultural. They have developed a number system, their famous calendar Round, based on 365 days, and later, the Long Count Calendar, designed to last over 5,000 years. Architecture was overwhelming and we can see it in superb pyramids, plazas, palaces and temples as well as courts for playing the famous Maya ball game ulama . Most of these buildings were dedicated to worship various gods related to nature, including the gods of the sun, the moon, rain and corn. Guided by their religious ritual, the Maya also made significant advances in mathematics and astronomy, including the use of the zero and the development of complex calenders.

Join us in this magnificent tour in the Maya World, visiting the Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico Cityand some of the most important cities unearthed up to date: Tikal, Palenque, Chichen Itzá.

beautiful cloud forest, great for birdwatching. Later you will drive via Cartago to Turrialba.

Truly optimum weather conditions might even allow you to have a privileged view of both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans (not included in the distance and time calculation). You have the opportunity (today or the day after) to visit the largest coffee farm in the country, with its 924 hectares, panoramic views and friendly people. Situated close to Turrialba, the picturesque farm is surrounded by rivers, waterfalls, green woods and many different species of birds that have found their home here. Nestled in the coffee plantations of the region, the village started developing with the coffee farm, while the farm, later, continued evolving by the villagers. A perfect symbiosis that still bears fruit today. The tour starts directly at the coffee plantation and takes you through all processes of coffee production, from cultivation to coffee enjoyment from the cup. At the beginning of the tour, we visit the small and picturesque church of the village and then drive through coffee plantations to a beautiful Ceiba Tree, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view of the coffee plantations and the village.
