1. CANCUN

The arrival in Cancun offers to most travelers the possibility to purchase an economical flight to Mexico (Charter). We will pick you up at the airport and bring you to Playa del Carmen. We will even make a reservation for you in a respectable hotel that suits your budget. You can choose to stay in Playa or go to Tulum when you wish to (More economical). You will have many days in the area depending on the arrival date of you flight. The departure to Belize will be Wednesday  from Playa de Carmen. But we will pick you up in Tulum if you have chosen to stay there. .
2. CAYE CAULKER ISLAND, BELIZE. 

Belize is completely different from the rest of the Latin countries; English is spoken exclusively throughout the area. Caye Caulker is of an incredibly relax atmosphere, there are no cars on the island, vehicles are made out of golf carts. The speed limit signs proudly state “GO SLOW”. We will spend 2 or 3 nights on the island. ãWe will recommend a 3 hours snorkeling tour on a sailboat to the coral reef. There is also a swim with the sharks on one of the snorkeling areas. (Price of the tour 12.50$us)
.
3. TIKAL, GUATEMALA

The next morning at dawn we will head over to the Tikal ruins for sunrise. You will have all day to explore the vast Mayan city. Return at your own discretion.

There is also a small but interesting zoo near Flores that can be visited. It requires a 30 minutes canoe ride on the lake. You can observe monkeys, jaguars and other animals in an almost natural habitat. (Price: 4.00$ us)
.
4. ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA

Antigua is the most ancient colonial city on America. Most of the hotels reside in buildings more than 200 years old, some very impressive and at very reasonable rates. We believe that one day and a half is more than enough to visit the beauty of the town.

There is also a famous expedition on an active volcano to those who will want to. (Price approx.: 20$ us).
5. PANAJACHEL, LAKE ATITLAN, GUATEMALA   

The beauty of the landscape will amaze you; the view is breathtaking. We will spend 3 days around this intriguing lake surrounded by 3 volcanoes and 7 small villages. Time and technology seems to have forgotten these people, most live in a most traditional way. The rituals the clothes and the languages have not changed in a hundred years. You can decide to climb one of the volcanoes, passing through the San Pedro village. (40 min. boat ride)

You have two options: By foot or by Horse, you decide. You can also choose to stay the night at the San Pedro village and come back the next day. For the others the city of Panajachel offers a great choice of restaurants and bars to party and enjoy the nightlife.
6. CHICHICASTENANGO MARKET

The most important market in Guatemala, there you will find gifts and souvenirs for family and friends. You will find all sorts of crafts at incredibly low prices. This trip is included in the Funky Tours package and will be on Thursday.
7. ZIPOLITE, MEXICO  

On the beach again… Life is not always a piece of cake. But this time it ‘s the Pacific coast. You will have crossed 3 countries and a whole continent from east to west.

Zipolite is a charming little beach town, very popular for the travelers seeking peace and tranquility. Nudists are welcome and the general atmosphere is very relaxed and open-minded. These 4 days in Zipolite will go by faster than you can imagine. Some of you might prefer to stay at the Mazunte beach, another beach 5 km to the north.

There is a turtle conservation museum well worth seeing. It hosts all kind of marine and land turtle species in a purpose to help and preserve the endangered animals. (Price: 3.00 $ us).

There is also a Laguna that host crocodiles, iguanas and other wild animals. Guides take you on a 30 minutes very interesting canoe ride. (Price: 3.00$ us).

Many artisans come from all over to offer their product, often at very reasonable prices. The architecture has been preserved with great effort; many churches and historical building are well worth visiting. Most of them for free.
