Though the majority of this 16-day tour is spent discovering the abundant bounties of Mexico and Belize, we first stop off in Guatemala in order to explore ancient Mayan temples, pyramids and stone structures dating from 500BC. From here, we fly to the world-renowned beach destination of Cancun, Mexico, where we find glistening white-sand beaches and warm blue-green lapping waters.
Heading southwest, we enjoy the many historic attractions of Mexico's Yucatan region; the wholly unique fusion of highland central Mexican and Puuc architecture; Moorish and Rococo style mansions that reflect strong Old World influences; magnificent palaces covered with innumerable carved masks; and massive pyramids whose summits boast some of the most memorable sceneries in the country.
In Belize, we witness some of Mother Nature's finest accomplishments in sanctuaries, national parks and zoos that teem with wildlife and along the banks of creeks and lagoons as we glide through tranquil waters on a riverboat. More spectacular Mayan structures and artifacts lie in wait for us in Belize and we pay a special visit to the once-most densely populated site in Mesoamerica, a place whose still-standing ancient buildings outnumber the entire number of modern houses in all of Belize today.
