2. A single supplement is available if you\u2019d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
3. It is recommended that you keep your main luggage weight around 15kg and certainly no more than 20kg. A small or medium-sized backpack (45-50 litres) is another good option.
4. Travel is always an adventure and, as destinations reopen, there are a few challenges as everyone gets back up to speed and adjusts to the new normal. Our leaders are experts when it comes to dealing with anything unexpected along the journey, so pack your understanding and flexibility, sit back and relax while they take care of the rest.<\/div><\/p>","age_average":30,"images":[{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.jpg","index":0,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218227742-4.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.jpg","index":1,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822217965598-2.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.jpg","index":2,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822218489886-2.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.jpg","index":3,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539059230-1.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.jpg","index":4,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539321374-1.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/3718\/8822539845662-1.jpg","index":5,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539845662-1.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539845662-1.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539845662-1.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/3718\/8822539845662-1.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/3718\/8822539845662-1.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours

Your adventure begins in Mexico City, the vibrant beating heart of the country. You will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel, where you will meet the rest of your group and local leader for a 6pm welcome meeting. Your hotel in Mexico City is housed in a beautiful building from the 1890s and the location is truly one of the city\u2019s best. The buzzing Zocalo Plaza and spectacular National Cathedral are right on your doorstep; views of which can be admired from your hotel\u2019s rooftop restaurant and bar. After your meeting, head out for dinner with your leader and small group. Tonight you will have the chance to sample a tempting array of local dishes, sampling your way across Mexico by trying tacos from different regions. The city\u2019s authentic food scene will surprise and delight even seasoned travellers, as will the lively atmosphere created by roving Mariachi bands.
