Highlights of Mexico holiday

This short 8 day adventure provides a wonderful introduction to some of the highlights of Mexico. Mexico is a country rich in culture, natural wonders, ancient sites and lush beaches. As a popular tourist destination, it is of the utmost importance that everyone does their part to ensure the country is kept clean, with minimal litter and waste left behind, especially on the beaches. We adhere to a strict responsible travel policy which is reiterated at the pre departure meeting by the tour leader, so that you, our customers, are aware of our expectations when you travel with us. This includes actions you can do in the hotel, such as limiting water consumption by taking shorter showers, switching off all electricity and air conditioning and requesting that towels and bedding are not changed unnecessarily.

When relaxing on the beaches on Mexico, we ask that you ensure all litter is taken with you or disposed of correctly and nothing is left behind that may end up in the ocean. When exploring the area and swimming, avoid disrupting marine animals or coral, and do not remove natural materials from their habitat as souvenirs. We also would discourage you from purchasing any souvenirs that may contain shell or other natural materials.

This tour visits an incredible 6 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These incredible and preserved sites highlight the importance of keeping history alive for generations to come. Entrance is included in the tour cost for Teotihuacan, Monte Alban and Chichen Itza. The money we pay for tickets to these sites goes directly back into the restoration of the buildings and the preservation of them and the surrounding area for years to come. When visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites, we ask that you remain respectful and do not climb or walk over areas that are prohibited.

Mexico has a reputation for its wonderful food, and this tour offers ample opportunity to taste some of the countries finest dishes. Our tour leaders are incredibly knowledgeable on the best local restaurants and markets for you to try. We would encourage you to always eat local produce, making use of the wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables that the country are fortunate enough to grow. Eating locally produced food from markets is the most environmentally friendly way of eating as you can be assured that very little would be imported from overseas like it would in many international chain restaurants.
