    Seeing the pyramids was a lifelong ambition and being able to go to the less-visited sites was really special. I also loved travelling though the wonderful landscapes particularly in the Sierra Madre although overall the time on the road I felt was too long. The other people on the trip were a delight!

    Teotihuacán was epic for the first archeological site. Palenque was beautiful with all the surrounding trees.Tikal was huge and made even more special with the added wildlife. I also really enjoyed the town of Oaxaca and san Cristóbal- great markets.
