Tours to Mexico

Tours to Mexico — Travel Features

Exotic, blooming and mysterious. The cradle of ancient Indian civilizations and a country with a colorful modern culture. The land of wild jungles and fertile valleys, mighty volcanoes and endless ocean coasts. Mexico can be described long and colorfully, but an inquisitive tourist should visit it at least once, so ExtremeGuide invites you to take part in an exciting journey. An extreme trip, with the conquest of Peak Orizaba, trekking along the Sumidero Canyon and relaxing on the beaches of Cancun, will be the coolest vacation.

Yes, this is not an easy walk along the embankment, but a challenge, a rich and even intense adventure, with its own characteristics.

• Overnight stays in tents, food cooked over campfires — a minimum of comfort, a maximum of camping romance.
• Acclimatization — if the route includes climbing, the duration of the tour to Mexico is 17 days; the “extra” week is needed precisely to prevent altitude sickness.
• The cities we will be staying in are safe from an excursion point of view, but you should only walk through the favelas and slums accompanied by local guides.

And how much there is to visit!

Attractions, historical places

The beauty of Mexico is that it offers tourists all the options for entertainment, activities and even monuments at once, for any tastes and preferences. The focus of excursions is also different. For example, within one trip you can look at:

• Volcanoes — Popocatepetl, La Malinche, Orizaba, and with the possibility of climbing them. With acclimatization and accompaniment of our guides on the route – we advise you to take at least one peak by storm.
• Mexico City is a capital of contrasts, with skyscrapers and favelas, Garibaldi and Zocalo squares, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
• Pachuca is the most colorful point of the tour, because the city’s neighborhoods are full of murals, and the best singers in Mexico, the famous mariachis, sing on the streets.
• Puebla — with a “European” center (baroque style houses) and absolutely chic cuisine.
• The Temple of Quetzalcoatl, also known as the Great Pyramid of Cholula, with a Christian chapel on top, built by the Spanish in 1666, is such a combination of religions in history.
• Oaxaca de Juarez — after visiting the famous craft mezcalerias of Mexico, the trip will become even more fun. From the abundance of new impressions, of course, and what did you think about?
• Sumidero Canyon — with rafting on the crocodile river Grijalva, acquaintance with the jungle, a visit to the colonial city of San Cristobal.
• The Tree of Peace in Tula is 1,400 years old, has a capacity of 40 tourists, and is a living testimony to the grandeur of Mexico’s nature.
• Monte Alban is the capital of the Zapotecs; everyone has heard of the Aztecs, but you will see another, no less mysterious and ancient people of Mesoamerica.
• Tulum, with its pyramids and the Riviera Maya beach resort, offers plenty of opportunities to relax, swim in the ocean and soak up the sun on a Mexico trip.
• Yucatan is a peninsula with the archaeological site of Chichen Itza, the Ik Kil cenote, the ruins of El Castillo and other iconic historical monuments.
• Celestun is a biosphere reserve with charming pink flamingos and lush mangrove jungles; nature lovers will be delighted.

Is it really possible to visit so many places during one tour? Yes, Mexico promises a rich vacation. And we, ExtremeGuide, will organize it rationally so that you are not distracted by the everyday trifles of life during the trip.

Climate, culture, mountains

Weather conditions vary significantly depending on the region of the country and the terrain. Winds prevail in the Northwest and in the central part, so the temperature in the highlands can drop to -200. Heat reigns on the Pacific coast: the thermometer there can remain at 35-400. The southern slopes are distinguished by high humidity: 2000-3000 mm of precipitation falls there annually.

Mountains are a completely separate reason to visit Mexico: the trip will give you a chance to visit the Transverse Volcanic Sierra and climb the peaks of Nevado de Toluca (4680 m), Popocatepetl (5462 m), Orizaba (5700 m). Conquering stratovolcanoes is an achievement that not every climber can boast of, but you can do it.

During a tour to Mexico, an inquisitive traveler will definitely visit the ruins of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. And also get to know the descendants of these ancient peoples and see that the originality of the culture has not gone anywhere. From palaces and pyramids to the “Catholic” temples of the Tzotzils — eclecticism and color are felt in every iconic place.
