Itinerary
Welcome to one of the most popular beach towns in Mexico, also known as the 'Mexican Riviera'. Spa, pool, relax, repeat are all high on the agenda today or you can take a day trip to remote beaches on a sailing trip – and that's before we top it all off with a beachfront dinner, with the water and twinkling lights setting an unforgettable scene.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Today you’re free to explore Puerto Vallarta however you like. You can surf, or, take on an optional zipline adventure. It's a 'you do you' sorta day. Finish off this epic day with the option to take a Sunset cruise, show and dinner!

Bye bye beach hangs, but don't worry, this isn't your last taste of Mexican beach life - we'll see you soon, sea. Nothing screams ‘Mexico’ like tequila, so why not head to a genuine distillery where you can learn how this fiery spirit is made and taste some for yourself? Afterwards, take a stroll around the streets to get a feel for the old and new world architecture this place is known for – and then sample some seriously electric nightlife. It's time to learn about the city known as the 'Pearl of the West', Guadalajara, with its four main squares and glorious cathedral. Then you could go and find a spot to watch one of the city's famous live Mariachi bands do its thing.

Tequila, Mexico
A Mexican town located in the state of Jalisco, Tequila is best known as being the birthplace of the drink that bears its name "tequila".
Guadalajara, Mexico
Guadalajara, which was founded in 1532, is one of Mexico's major cultural centers. It is considered the home of Mariachi music, and hosts events like the International Film Festival of Guadalajara and the Guadalajara International Book Fair.
We leave Guadalajara and hit the road. Here at the old colonial city of Guanajuato (now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage City), you’ll learn about the history of the famous silver mining town and how the economy has shaped much of its culture. Discover the lovers at the 'Alley of Kisses' and the Hidalgo Market, designed by Gustave Eiffel himself.
Guanajuato, Mexico
The city is in a narrow valley, which makes its streets narrow and winding. Most are alleys that cars cannot pass through, and some are long sets of stairs up the mountainsides. The historic center has numerous small plazas and colonial-era mansions, churches, and civil constructions built using pink or green sandstone.
Thanks to the bright facades of Guanajuato, your eyes should be wide open by now. Just in time too, because there is so much to see in Mexico City.Quick pitstop! We'll check out this colourful UNESCO World Heritage City, known for its baroque architecture and vibrant art scene. Stroll through the charming plazas. Explore local artisan shops. Admire the iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. And then we'll be on our way. 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 oh-so-wonderful.
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
A small city with a huge cultural heritage and a cosmopolitan population that preserves its true colonial feeling. In 2002, around 250,000 visitors spent about US$8.4 million at the town's attractions.

It’s a busy one today, travellers. First, we'll get stuck into local history! We're heading to the archaeological city of Teotihuacan. Pyramids and Aztec temples are the focus for this leg of your journey. As you go, local guides will kindly impart their extensive knowledge on many interesting topics so you're in the know on anything and everything. Walk along the Avenue of the Dead, admire the grandeur of the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon from ground level, and explore beautifully preserved murals and temples. Back in the capital, it's time to look back on all the mesmerising history & architecture you've seen today (and catch a good night's sleep).
