Reminiscence! Mayan Quest, Mexico and Guatemala!

 The world of Tacos, Tequila and Temples! Our tour across this part of Central America started in Cancun and finished in Antigua, We chose the 10 day Intrepid  tour " Mayan Quest".  This tour was described as full of history and culture of the ancient Maya civilization. We visited the great wonder Chichen Itza as well as the  Uxmal and Palenque ruins but spent many long hours in the  mini bus. Thank god for Tequila and our great tour mates. Although we visited lovely towns such as San Cristobal de las Casa and Panajachel, we felt that this tour just was not functional as you had very little time at the sites .  We have since learnt that this tour is no longer running.

Recommendations;


-Read the trip notes of tour before choosing.
-Steer clear of tours that cover great distances in a bus.
-Purchase alcohol to share on long bus trip.
-Hike Pacaya at Antigua
-Visit the Isle of Mujeres (off Cancun) for a couple of days if you have the time. We stayed at Casa Roca Caribe (a lovely, self contained two bedroom unit over looking the Caribbean ocean) http://www.casarocacaribe.com/ MAGIC!
