Read the tour Itinerary summary below for more details.

Throughout the trip we will have the opportunity to dine at a wide  variety of extraordinary restaurants (from casual street food to fine  dining). While the tour offers many unique scheduled experiences, its  casual structure also provides daily opportunities for guests to adjust  the plans to match their interests and desired speed and intensity.

ALTITUDE ~ Tuxtla Gutiérrez: 1,713 ft  ~  San Cristóbal: 7,200 ft  ~  Comitán: 5,500 ft

PHYSICAL EXERTION ~ Moderately High Exertion (4 of 5) – This tour consists of casual walking on uneven cobblestone streets with hills. To take full advantage of some of the sites, tourists will need to climb multiple flights of steps (at a slow pace). Some excursions, such as the waterfalls and the national park, have options that range from casual relaxing visits with limited climbing to intense hiking and climbing experiences. We spend some time traveling by van over dusty, bumpy roads – those prone to motion sickness or dust allergies may want to bring medication.

Monday – Travel/Arrival day – the only scheduled event this day is our welcome dinner.
