Pre- or post-trip extensions
On this adventure, you have the following extensions to choose from:
4 nights Post-trip
Discover the enchanting beauty of the Yucatán Peninsula, a stunning blend of natural beauty, ancient Mayan cities, and Spanish colonial architecture. Immerse yourself in the diverse cultural offerings of Mérida, “The White City;” and ponder the mysteries of Chichén Itzá, left behind by the ancient Maya. Witness the subterranean cenote pools revered by the early civilizations, and gaze at the stalagmites that lie beneath their rich blue waters. Marvel at this region's ancient and natural history and explore beyond the beaten path.
4 nights Pre-trip
Travel deep into the heart of Mexico’s rugged central highlands, where the "Cry of Dolores" first rang out, sparking the earliest fires of Mexican independence. Stay for two nights in Guanajuato, a former mining town that is still relatively undiscovered by American travelers. In San Miguel de Allende, Mexico’s “Rainbow City,” known for its brightly-colored colonial architecture and infectious spirit of celebration, interact with locals and truly discover the city’s artistic charm. Explore what makes this region unique—from its rich history to its colorful culture.
Here's why 35% of travelers take one or both of these extensions:
- You’ll maximize your discoveries—often in an even smaller group (average of 6 with a dedicated Trip Experience Leader) than your main adventure—and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
- Both of these optional extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.
- This is a great opportunity to join your fellow travelers early or spend more time after your adventure getting to know your Trip Experience Leader and developing bonds with each other.
