Mexico, Belize & Guatemala

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala together form one of the most rewarding multi-country routes in the Americas, spanning ancient Maya civilisations, Caribbean coastlines, and dramatic highland landscapes. Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula draws travellers with its cenotes, colonial cities like Mérida, and ruins at Chichén Itzá and Tulum, while Belize offers some of the world's best barrier reef diving and snorkelling. Guatemala captivates with its indigenous Mayan culture, colourful markets in Chichicastenango, colonial Antigua, and the volcanic shores of Lake Atitlán. The overland route connecting all three countries is a classic for independent and group travellers seeking culture, nature, and adventure in one trip.

Real Central America: Self-Guided Mexico, Belize & Guatemala Adventure

Traverse lakes, volcanoes and jungles across Mexico, Belize and Guatemala entirely on your own terms. This self-guided version of Intrepid's popular Real Central America route follows the same trail — from the Caribbean beaches of Playa del Carmen and Tulum, through island paradise at Caye Caulker, into the Maya ruins of San Ignacio and Tikal, down the river to Rio Dulce, and up into the highland colour of Lake Atitlan and UNESCO-listed Antigua — at a fraction of the group tour price. Local buses, shared shuttles and public ferries replace private vehicles, while well-rated hostels and guesthouses keep costs down without sacrificing the experience. All costs are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Mexico, Belize & Guatemala yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
