This brief highlight program is composed of 6 days in the Riviera Maya with hotels in Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Take advantage of the cultural and natural sights the Riviera Maya has to offer. Visit the nearby ruins of Chichen-Itza and Tulum, also enjoy a leisure boat ride around Isla Mujeres.

Start in Mexico City and then on to the Yucatan to see Mérida and Chichen-Itza. Founded in 1542 by the Spanish conquistadors, Mérida was built on the site of the Maya city that had already existed for centuries. Thus it may be the oldest continually occupied city in the Americas. The “white city,” as it is called, once had a higher percentage of millionaires than any other in the world. Such wealth is still evident as large and small colonial homes line its streets to this day.
