Yucatan Family Multi-Sport Vacation

Bike, Walk, Kayak and Snorkel in Mexico's Mayan Kingdom

6 Days: December 2007 and March 2008

Escape to sunny Mexico for an Adventure that combines plenty of activity and beach time with a window into the soul of the Yucatán. Here, the past and present mix openly, providing a canvas for exploration like few others. Become immersed in the rich and varied history of the Maya with visits to numerous archaeological gems, including Chichén Itzá. Explore hidden caves and sleepy Maya villages. In a tropical reserve, snorkel in crystalline cenotes before heading to the azure Caribbean. Throughout our trip, we’re embraced by the comforts of charming tropical hideways and a seaside haven.
