Experience the jungle and relax on two Caribbean Islands in Mexico.
This trip will take us along the Gulf Coast of Mexico. Our first stop will be in the lively colonial city of Veracruz where we will spend the night. The next day we will head southeast into the Yucatan Peninsula. Lodging will be in an exlusive jungle resort. We will tour the archaeological site of Kohunlich, beautifully set in the midst of the jungle, surrounded by cohune palm trees and known for its giant stucco masks. After two full days of jungle adventure we will head to the island of Cozumel. On our way to Cozumel, we will enjoy breathtaking views while flying over lagoons and reefs and miles of virgin white sand beaches. Layed back atmosphere, total relaxation, beaches and water fun will be waiting for us at Cozumel and Isla Mujeres. Explore the islands, enjoy good food, excellent snorkeling and other watersports, or find a spot under a palm tree to practice some intense relaxation.
