What are the must-sees of a tour in Mexico?
Your tour in Mexico will take you through iconic destinations that reveal the full splendor of this fascinating country. Each stop tells a different story, from pre-Hispanic civilizations to the colonial era.
The treasures of the Mayan world
The Yucatan houses the most spectacular remnants of the Mayan civilization. Chichen Itza, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, dazzles you with its 30-meter-high Kukulcan Pyramid. This exceptional archaeological site showcases the Mayas' ingenuity in astronomy and architecture. Palenque, nestled in the heart of the Chiapas jungle, offers a mysterious setting with its temples overgrown by tropical vegetation.
Tulum has the unique feature of being the only Mayan site built facing the Caribbean Sea. Its white limestone walls beautifully contrast with the turquoise blue of the ocean. Uxmal, less visited but equally remarkable, reveals Mayan architectural art in all its sophistication with its 35-meter-high Magician's Pyramid.
The essential destinations
Mexico City, a sprawling capital of 22 million people, is often the starting point of your Mexican adventure. The historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, contains over 1,400 colonial monuments. The National Museum of Anthropology holds the most significant collection of pre-Hispanic art in the world.
Oaxaca impresses with its preserved colonial architecture and exceptional gastronomic scene. This city of 265,000 inhabitants is famous for its colorful markets where the scents of spices and the vibrant colors of Zapotec textiles blend. San Cristobal de las Casas, perched at an altitude of 2,100 meters, charms with its cobblestone streets and pastel-colored houses.
The Riviera Maya stretches over 120 kilometers of paradisiacal coasts. Playa del Carmen, a former fishing village now a cosmopolitan seaside resort, offers the perfect balance between relaxation and cultural discovery. Cancun, with its 23 kilometers of white sand beaches, is an ideal base for exploring the wonders of the Yucatan.
How to organize your tour in Mexico?
Organizing your trip requires careful planning to optimize your time and fully enjoy each experience. Our Travel Planners assist you in every step of this preparation.
Duration and pace of travel
A 10 to 12-day tour in Mexico allows you to discover the essentials of the country without rush. This duration provides enough time to visit Mexico City and its surroundings (3 days), explore the Yucatan and its archaeological sites (4 days), then relax on the beaches of the Riviera Maya (3 days).
For a more in-depth immersion, opt for a 15 to 18-day tour in Mexico. This formula allows you to include less visited destinations such as Oaxaca, San Cristobal de las Casas, or Puerto Vallarta. You also have more free time for optional activities: diving in cenotes, hiking in the Sierra Madre, or traditional cooking classes.
The best time to travel
The Mexican climate varies considerably depending on the region and altitude. The ideal period extends from November to April, during the dry season. Temperatures then fluctuate between 25°C and 30°C on the coast, with a more bearable humidity level.

What budget to plan for your tour in Mexico?
The cost of your trip varies according to several factors: duration, desired level of comfort, season, and included activities. Our Travel Planners offer options suitable for all budgets.
For a 12-day tour in Mexico with full board, count between €2,500 and €4,000 per person, international flights included. This rate includes accommodation in 3 to 4-star hotels, all internal transport, a French-speaking guide, and entries to the sites. Meals with full board allow you to discover local cuisine without worrying about your daily budget.
A more comfortable budget of €4,000 to €6,000 per person opens access to charming accommodations, exclusive experiences, and business class flights. This range often includes boutique hotels in colonial haciendas or luxury eco-lodges in nature.
Tours in Mexico with breakfast only offer more flexibility to discover street food and local restaurants. This formula, generally 15% cheaper than full board, is perfectly suited for adventurous travelers wishing to immerse themselves in Mexican culinary culture.
