Best Of Mexico Tour
If you want to enjoy the colourful Mexican culture, a Mexico tour is for you. The tour starts in Mexico City, where you spend a couple of days viewing the best of the attractions with your English-speaking guide. The first stop upon leaving Mexico City is Puebla, which is about 130km southeast of Mexico City; this is a World Heritage Site with colonial architecture and well worth a visit. The next destination is Oaxaca, which was once the hub of the Mixtec and Zapotec civilisations; the Zapotec people developed an area at Monte Alban hundreds of years before the birth of Christ. Oaxaca changed significantly when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, bringing their rich and colourful architecture that you can marvel at.
The next port of call is San Cristobal De Las Casas, a beautiful town nestled in the lush jungle. Enjoy the stunning cathedral and the town centre, which is always bustling with people; this is one of the best places to buy amber if that is a favourite gemstone of yours. Palenque is the next port of call, which is about 4 hours’ drive from San Cristobal; see the ruins at Tonia and take some amazing photos of a stunning view. Here you will see a unique maze and a series of blue water pools. Of course, the main attraction in Palenque is the archaeological site, which was at its height in 600-800AD. Campeche is also the home to a few ancient sites and your English-speaking guide can give you the rich history of this Mayan site.
