Central Mexico & Yucatan: Mexico City, Oaxaca, Oh Yeah
They said it wasn’t possible, but we went and did it anyway: we combined the best of Central Mexico and the Yucatan into an incredible 13-day adventure that'll have you staying in awesome hostels at every stop. Discover hidden (and delicious!) corners of Mexico City before visiting the always-buzzing cities of Puebla and Oaxaca for even more culture and cuisine. Spend a couple of days at the beach, then fly up to Mérida for jungle bikes and cenote swims. After that, check out the massive pyramid at Chichen Itzá before finishing up at the beach town of Tulum.

Tour Tips
Meals
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. Please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Optional Activities
Teotihuacán- Teotihuacán Guided TourMexico City- Lucha Libre Match (350-500MXN per person)- National Museum of Anthropology (95MXN per person)- Museum of Frida Kahlo (Casa Azul) (267.50-297.50MXN per person)Monte Albán- Monte Albán Tour (900MXN per person)Oaxaca- Mole Cooking Class (1200MXN per person)- Mezcal Factory TourSan Pablo Villa de Mitla- Valley of Mitla Ruins Visit (700MXN per person)Puerto Escondido- Laguna de Manialtepec Visit- Surfing- Stand Up Paddle BoardingPlaya del Carmen- Cenote Visit (40-60USD per person)
What to Take
We recommend the use of a duffel bag or backpack (whichever you find easiest to carry). You will be responsible for carrying and handling your own luggage. You must be able to carry your luggage to our accommodations and should be prepared to load it on and off of transportation, as porters are usually not on hand. A good size daypack is also essential.Luggage weight restrictions may apply on the internal flight during the tour.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders, a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
