It’s not uncommon knowledge that Mexico is blessed with startlingly beautiful landscapes, and we can show you Mexico like you’ve never dreamt of before. Beyond the beach side cabanas and tropical rainforest ruins lies an astonishing cultural cosmos waiting for you to explore. From the teeming metropolis of Mexico City with its fabulous cuisines to boho-chic in magical colonial towns and the swanky art galleries of Oaxaca — this is Mexico in all its glory.
C.O.S.M.O.P.O.L.I.T.A.N
Kick-starting your epic journey in Mexico City. Mingle with the city’s socialites at the coolest art galleries, bistros and clubs in the centre of the fashionable Polanco district. Explore some of the country’s most treasured and celebrated hotspots worthy of their “World Heritage” status (as a matter of fact it’s a term you’ll hear a lot during this journey). Hike up the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan before marvelling the ancient Aztec spectacles of the city itself. All that exploration is sure to work up a healthy appetite and coincidentally you are travelling in the epicentre of, we would argue, the world’s best street food.
THE LOST WORLD
After relishing the delights of the city, your next stop is the emerald green valleys of Chiapas. Hop off your plane and proceed to jump onto your motorboat and whiz through the Sumidero Canyon past sky-high rock walls. Care for a bit more exploration? After a quick pit stop to cool off at the impressive waterfall of Misol-Ha (another of those “World Heritage” sites we mentioned earlier), you will be taken deeper into the Chiapas jungle for your private tour of the ancient Palenque. Under towering Ceiba trees and deep in tropical rainforest, your expert guide will reveal mythic anecdotes and archaeological marvels which will offer you a glimpse of a long-gone era in this hallowed Mayan city.
WONDERFUL OAXACA
Next up - gourmet thrills and historical spills! We take you from the lost Mayan world to the Spanish New World—adios to the rainforest jungle and Hola¡ to yet another “World Heritage” site. Your splendid boutique hotel is your base for the crème de la crème of contemporary Mexican art and gastronomy at your fingertips. You will be spoilt for choice for activities to experience in the captivating home of Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés as the town boast over 1,000 historic monuments. For the final cultural fix, feast on a culinary adventure with an exclusive chef-led tour of the local markets. Try out the fresh local fruits and vegetables before frying up a banquet in the chef’s kitchen, sipping artisanal mescals as you go. A delicious finale to an extraordinary and mesmerising culture trip.
