Mexico & Guatemala

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Mexico and Guatemala together form one of the most culturally and geographically diverse travel corridors in the Americas. Mexico draws visitors with its ancient Aztec and Maya ruins, vibrant cities like Mexico City and Oaxaca, Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, and a world-renowned food scene. Guatemala is home to the highland Maya city of Antigua, the vast Lake Atitlán surrounded by volcanoes, and the jungle temples of Tikal. Travellers combine the two countries for an immersive mix of pre-Columbian history, indigenous culture, volcano trekking, colonial architecture, and some of Central America's best street food.

Mayan Trail: Self-Launched from Playa del Carmen to Antigua

Ditch the group tour price tag and launch your own Mayan adventure through Mexico and Guatemala. This self-launched itinerary follows the same iconic route — from the beach vibes of Playa del Carmen through the ancient ruins of Chichén Itzá and Palenque, the colonial charm of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, and on into Guatemala's Lake Atitlán and Antigua — all using local buses, shared shuttles, and budget guesthouses. You'll hit every major highlight, connect with local culture, and keep far more cash in your pocket. Estimated costs are approximate and based on current budget traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Mexico & Guatemala yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
