A wonderful trip to Mexico was brought to life by the stellar organisational efforts of Javier and the team at Rutopia. Javier was the chief planning architect of our trip and spent a lot of time on watsapp calls and messages curating the ideal itinerary for us. His passion and enthusiasm for sharing the sights of his country rubbed off on us and we were able to maximise our time and enjoyment during our stay. Eduardo was our go-to contact person and very prompt in checking in with us daily to see how were going and if we needed help with anything.
The chief highlights for us were seeing Chichenitza and the pyramid at Uxmal, up close and personal. We loved visiting the Xcaret theme park and enjoyed the show immensely. Snorkelling off Isla Mujeres, strolling down Quinta Avenida in Playa del Carmen , drinking Margaritas in Tulum and relishing Marquesitas in Bacalar were other standouts for us. We also enjoyed the culinary experiences in Yalcoba with a Mayan family and the cooking class courtesy of Lina's Mexican Kitchen.
We had a memorable time in the Yucatan peninsula and hopefully we can visit again in future and see the other parts of Mexico.
Muchas Gracias :)

Thank you so much, Smita! Not only did you experience my country in the best possible way with us, but you also contributed to the regeneration of our culture and environment through responsible tourism. I look forward to planning our next adventure under the Mexican sky—what about exploring Chiapas and the Lacandona Jungle?

Best regards to you and Aryana. Thank you for your trust.
¡Gracias, Smita, y hasta la próxima aventura!
