Today you'll head out with an expert local guide to explore the colonial gems and architecture of one of Mexico's most beautiful towns.

You'll have most of the day at leisure before a local foodie meets you at your hotel for a night on the town!

Sample local dishes from various restaurants and street food stalls - getting beneath the skin of one of the worlds' most beloved cuisines.

Having had a dose of more recent culture in Merida, you'll roll back the years today as you head to the ancient Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza - some of the best preserved in the Americas.

Enjoy a full day exploring the ruins with a private guide, who will be on hand to explain the fascinating (and sometimes gruesome!) history of this ancient settlement.

Tonight, enjoy dinner under the stars.

It's time for some serious relaxation as you head to Tulum - one of the most beautiful coastal locations in Mexico.

Tulum is famous for its incredible array of boutique hotels and barefoot luxury resorts.

This area is home to an array of hollowed caves with crystal clear waters, known as 'cenotes'. Today you could pick your favourite and go for a swim! Just be sure to pack a picnic.

Our experts are on hand to recommend some of the lesser known spots if you want a bit of peace and quiet.

Tulum is unusual in that it has ancient Mayan ruins located right on the main beach. You could take a stroll along the soft sands today, stopping for lunch or a margarita en route.

Tulum is home to some of the best bars and restaurants in the country, with some quirky and unusual options.

Be sure to check your travel app for recommendations.

Your last day at leisure to relax or explore. We can arrange a special dinner under the stars, perhaps on the beach, to celebrate - just ask your specialist.

You'll enjoy most of the day to relax before being escorted to the airport for your flight home.
