From Palenque to Flores, via Yaxchilan and Bonampak This tour provides a good way to travel from Palenque onward to Tikal, visiting two fabulous Maya sites along the way. The travel in Mexico was first-rate, although the cabin in the Lancandon jungle was quite basic. Private bath, but no hot water. And the stay there was not a culturally interesting one. It was just a room for the night. Once across the border, transportation is by colectivo, and it's a bumpy and slow 5 hours to Flores. But still, if I had to choose again, I would definitely take this tour.
First time travelling and the best experience This trip is certainly one to do. The only negative is that it is not a cheap trip in terms of spending money, estimate for £1000. It is so worth it!!! Our guide was Luis who is a very knowledgeable individual. He is passionate about teaching others about Mexico and its history. Luis is extremely bubbly and full of energy which makes it so much more fun. He includes everyone and is willing to help anyone in any way shape or form. I have never been travelling before and i am sure i will be doing it again, all down to luis because of the experience i have had on this trip. Thank you Luis.
HIKING IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES This was an awesome trip, it exceeded all my expectations and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a love for the outdoors, gorgeous scenery and challenging hikes. This is a hiking trip, it’s full on and for the most part you will be busy – hiking! There are a couple of opportunities to spend time in Jasper and Banff, catch up with laundry or do some souvenir shopping, but for me it was all about the Rockies and enjoying panoramas that no photograph could ever do justice! All the hikes are perfectly doable if you have a good level of fitness and a real desire to get to the top! You’re in the Rockies, the elevation gain is going to be tough, but all the pain will be forgotten the second you get to the top – every hike has a prize of the most spectacular views!
