Round Trip Through Mexico

A round trip through Mexico is the perfect way to discover the diversity of this fascinating country. From the mysterious temples of Chichén Itzá to the white-sand beaches of the Riviera Maya, you’ll be immersed in a world of contrasts. Along the way, you’ll visit colourful colonial cities such as Mérida and Campeche, where history is palpable in every street. The local population welcomes you with open arms and introduces you to authentic traditions. A round trip gives you the freedom to explore Mexico’s hidden gems at your own pace, while enjoying comfortable accommodations and excellent local cuisine.

Tulum and the Riviera Maya

Tulum is without a doubt one of Mexico’s most photogenic destinations. This ancient Maya city, dramatically perched on cliffs overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea, perfectly blends history with unspoilt nature. Tulum’s white sandy beaches invite you to relax after a day of exploring the ancient ruins. In the surrounding area, you’ll find numerous cenotes—natural sinkholes that were sacred to the Maya—where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters. The entire Riviera Maya offers a perfect balance between luxury resorts and authentic Mexican experiences. Enjoy the tropical atmosphere among swaying palm trees, sample local dishes at small beachside eateries and be enchanted by the warm hospitality of the local people.

Individual Round Trips in Mexico

For travellers who prefer to explore Mexico at their own pace, individual round trips are ideal. Travelling through the Yucatán Peninsula by rental car gives you complete freedom to decide where and when to stop. Discover hidden cenotes between Valladolid and Mérida, take a detour to the colourful town of Izamal or linger a little longer in beautiful Bacalar, home to its lagoon of seven shades of blue. Individual journeys allow you to follow your personal interests, whether they lie in archaeology, culinary discoveries or nature experiences. Our travel experts are happy to design a tailor-made itinerary, including carefully selected accommodations that match your travel style and budget, ensuring a worry-free journey through this diverse destination.

Highlights of Mexico

No round trip through Mexico is complete without visiting its absolute highlights. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chichén Itzá impresses with its majestic El Castillo pyramid, an architectural masterpiece of the Maya civilisation. In the southeast, Palenque awaits—an archaeological site surrounded by lush rainforest, where you can experience the mystical atmosphere of the ancient Maya world. Mexico City reveals the vibrant heart of modern Mexico, with the imposing Zócalo square at its centre. The colourful neighbourhoods of Oaxaca, renowned for their rich culinary traditions and handicrafts, offer a glimpse into the soul of Mexico. Along the coastline of Quintana Roo lies Isla Holbox, a paradise island where, in the right season, you can snorkel with whale sharks in their natural habitat.

Uxmal and Other Maya Temples

In addition to the famous Chichén Itzá, Uxmal deserves a prominent place on your Mexico itinerary. This impressive Maya city on the Yucatán Peninsula captivates visitors with its distinctive Puuc architecture, characterised by intricate mosaics and geometric patterns. The Governor’s Palace and the Pyramid of the Magician are among the most remarkable structures of this pre-Columbian civilisation. Nearby, you’ll find the archaeological sites of Kabah, Sayil and Labná, collectively known as the Puuc Route. These lesser-visited temples offer a serene experience compared to more crowded sites. Visiting these ancient sanctuaries allows you to walk through history and gain insight into the daily life, religious practices and astronomical knowledge of this advanced civilisation.

Mexico City

Mexico City, the vibrant capital of Mexico, is a metropolis where past and present seamlessly intertwine. On the vast Zócalo square, you’ll find both the impressive Metropolitan Cathedral and the remains of Templo Mayor, an important Aztec temple. The city boasts an unparalleled cultural richness, with more than 150 museums, including the world-renowned National Museum of Anthropology, where Mexico’s rich pre-Columbian heritage comes to life. Stroll through the trendy neighbourhoods of Roma and Condesa with their art deco architecture, relax in the expansive Chapultepec Park or sample local delicacies at traditional markets. The capital serves as an ideal starting point for your round trip, allowing you to acclimatise and enjoy a first introduction to Mexican culture before continuing on to other destinations.
