Mexico
Welcome to the spectacle. Fiery food washed down with biting drinks. Magisterial, world-class ruins like Chichen Itza and Tulum. Beautiful cities such as Oaxaca and Merida, both teeming with life and alive with tradition. The polar opposites of Mexico's peaceful landscapes and its throbbing central heart - beating with culture - the vast heaving megalopolis that is Mexico City. But it's her people that makes Mexico so endlessly compelling - from the bubbling gathering around a street stall, to washing their laundry in public in Chiapa de Corzo, to the Day of the Dead, Mexicans' fervid love of life, rejoicing in exhibition and willingness to put it all on show makes a visit here often feel like you’re an honoured guest at the world's biggest house party. Every place you visit envelopes you with its sights and smells, sounds and tastes. Once you’re here, you feel Mexico under your fingernails; once you leave, you carry it in your heart.

A great mix of Mayan sites and Mexican and Guatemalan towns and markets. Colour and life and history and good food.

Most memorable part of the trip - the similarities and the differences between the ancient sites we visited... and the awe inspiring constructions we saw and climbed upon.
