Introduction:
The perfect fortnight’s escape: Caribbean beaches,
cities of ancient civilisations, and colonial towns
tucked away in the pine forests. Our trip begins in
the party town of Playa del Carmen and runs
parallel to the turquoise coastline. We speed out
to the coral cayes in Belize: you can swim with
sharks if you dare! Visit the plazas and temples at the
Mayan city of Tikal. Then it’s onto the jungle: go
caving, horseriding and visit waterfalls. High up in the
mountains, visit the charming, colonial town of Antigua and watch the sun set behind Lake Atitlan’s volcanoes.
