Mexico Grande

Day 1  Puerto Vallarta                  
Welcome to Puerta Vallarta - and what a place to kick off your adventure!  One of the most popular beach towns in Mexico, it's easy to see why this place is known as the 'Mexican Riviera'.                  

Day 2  Puerto Vallarta              
Today you’re free as a bird and that means exploring as much or as little of Puerto Vallarta as you like. Today you could find yourself speeding through the jungle on a zipline, catching some waves with a surf lesson, or spending the day away at the quaint coastal town of Sayulita.                  

Day 3  Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara        
Looking for even more cultural immersion? There's nothing more Mexican than tequila, so why not head to a genuine distillery where you can learn how this fiery spirit is made and taste some for yourself. Then it's time to learn about the city known as the 'Pearl of the West', Guadalajara, with its four main squares and glorious cathedral.                  

Day 4  Guadalajara to Guanajuato              
Today Guadalajara reveals itself in a different way when you cruise up to see the city from another vantage point at Ceboruco – a now inactive volcano. Next up you'll hit the old colonial city of Guanajuato where you will learn about the history of the famous silver mining town and how the economy has shaped much of its culture.                  

Day 5  Guanajuato to Mexico City      
Mexico City is the largest city in the country and impressively, the oldest capital in Central America. Known for its Aztec temple, its surprising altitude at 2200m, and mountainous landscape, this place is busy, bustling and wonderful.        

Day 6  Mexico City          
Floating gardens, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are the focus for this leg of your journey in this bustling city. Get stuck into the local flavours by tasting some Mexican delicacies at a local market. Then, tonight, re-fuel with city eats, like enchiladas, tamales and tacos.  

Day 7  Mexico City              
On this busy day of the trip you’ll take in the archaeological city of Teotihuacan, pyramids and Aztec temples! As you go, local guides will kindly impart their extensive knowledge on many interesting topics. You'll even take to the water for a traditional Trajinera boat, where you can grab a drink, do some shopping and watch the world float past.                  

Day 8  Mexico City to Cancun          
Goodbye Mexico City. Señoras y señores, let's hit the road! Welcome to Mexico’s super resort – Cancún. With its high energy vibes, this stop is a no brainer when it comes to getting your fiesta on. One suggestion for tonight's dinner? Mercado 28, a busy market serving true Mexican delights.        

Day 9  Cancún              
Yes, Yes. We just arrived. But we're saying goodbye to bright & buzzing Cancún (only for a bit!) to check out an epic historical hotspot. The most famous ancient ruins in Mayan history. With our Local Guide leading the charge, we’ll learn all about the Mayan calendar, the positioning of the sun, the connections of the ruins around the country, and the worlds that came before us. Afterwards, we’ll take a dip in a cenote – which is the best way to beat the Mexican heat. You've got the entire day tomorrow to spend soaking up the Cancún sun. So, rest up!    

Day 10  Cancún            
Cancun is a hub of fiery entertainment… known for way more than party vibes. Powdery beaches, endlessly swimmable waters and laidback taco joints (basically all you need, no matter your mood.) Your Trip Manager knows this place like the back of their hand too, so you're guaranteed to be in the know on all the best spots to head for the evening.

Day 11  Cancún            
Depart any time after breakfast.
