Why we like it
Combining the ultimate bragging rights of learning about the rituals, cosmology and everyday lives of the Aztecs at Teotihuacan with days spent ambling the streets of charming cities with fine colonial architecture, intrepid travellers embarking on this route are rewarded with a jam-packed itinerary. Offering everything from mountain drives to private viewings of unique artwork, this trip can be tailored to suit any activity level or interest. As the route traversed lies in the south of the country, where a dense congregation of Silver Cities are located, aficionados of culture and architecture are able to gain a comprehensive and intimate knowledge of this region with comparatively minimal time spent travelling. The addition of an indulgent stopover in a resort on the peninsula of Punta Mita allows for private boat cruises, surfing lessons, snorkelling with sea lions, whale-watching or even a visit to a local bottlenose dolphin colony.
