Reef and Rainforest

The perfect fortnight’s escape: Caribbean beaches, cities of ancient civilisations, and colonial towns tucked away in the pine forests. Our trip begins in the party town of Playa del Carmen and runs parallel to the turquoise coastline. We speed out to the coral cayes in Belize: you can swim with sharks if you dare! Visit the plazas and temples at the Mayan city of Tikal. Then it’s onto the jungle: go caving, horseriding and visit waterfalls. High up in the mountains, visit the charming, colonial town of Antigua and watch the sun set behind Lake Atitlan’s volcanoes. This tour begins in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Flights should be booked to Cancun International airport (CUN), a short taxi ride from Playa Del Carmen. This tour ends in Antigua, Guatemala. Flights should be booked from Guatemala City airport (GUA), a short taxi ride from Antigua.
