Puerta Vallarta will be sure to impress as your first destination. One of the most popular beach towns in Mexico known as the 'Mexican Riviera'. Spa, pool, relax, repeat are all high on the agenda today. You’ll be thinking – ah, this is the life and then we'll top it all off with a stunning beachfront dinner, with the water and twinkling lights setting an unforgettable scene.
Today you’re free as a bird and that means exploring as much or as little of Puerto Vallarta as you like. Punta Mita is known for perfect beginner waves if surfing in a secluded bay is your thing. If not, there's plenty more on offer. Like the sound of a pirate ship c...
Load up on tequila jokes, as that's exactly where we're heading this morning. Legendary by name, often dangerous by nature, we all have a tequila story or two lurking in our pasts, but who knew this iconic drink was actually a place? Well, now you do, and no prizes fo...
We'll spend the morning exploring the city's four main squares and cathedral, strolling around the streets and generally getting a feel for the old and new world architecture that this place is best known for, before it's on to Guanajuato. Arriving into the old colon...
Thanks to exploring the bright facades of the buildings of this Guanajuato, your eyes should be wide open by now. ...And just in time too, because the "Pueblo Magico" Magic Town of San Miguel de Allende is a total feast for the eyes, and our lunch stop for the day. ...
The theme 'getting out there' will take on a whole new meaning today as we take in Mexico City in all her glory. We'll visit the floating gardens, drop by Coyoacan, the birthplace of Frida Kahlo, and even take to the water for a cruise on a traditional Trajinera boat....
Up for doing something utterly legendary? This morning, why not take to the skies for a hot air balloon ride over the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan - the views are seriously something else. If heights ain't your thing, don't stress - we'll also be exploring this ancien...
Ciao for now, Mexico City. We'll be seeing you again soon, but not before we slow the pace way down and book ourselves in for some beach time. Soft and beautiful, Merida will take you in her arms and show you the quieter side of Mexico. A walking tour will show off t...
Pack up your swag of Mexican trinkets and say goodbye to the calm oasis of Merida and hello yet another incredible UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, Chichen Itza. These ancient ruins are the most famous and best preserved of their kind in Mayan history. These iconic ...
Just incase you don’t know the drill by now, an ice cold cerveza should remind you that Cancun is a hub of wonderful entertainment. Feel like taking things further afield? A day trip to Playa del Carmen could be just the ticket. White sand beaches, snorkelling, colour...
Fun is the name of the game today in this stunning white sand beach spot. Thrillseekers could take a trip to some hidden waters deep in the tropical jungle. A bit of rural island hopping, zipling a stint at Garrafon Natural Reef Park, a visit to some ancient Mayan rui...
Morning global roamers, we came, we saw, we conquered all... We'll fuel up on one last breakfast together, then it's time to wipe away the tears and do those final friend requests because today you're homeward bound with firm plans in full steam for a Contiki 2.0 reunion in Asiano-doubt.

We’re firm believers that life’s greatest experiences are made better by the people you share them with. That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.
No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.
We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. You can expect to join a group of 18-53 awesome people from around the world on our Europe, Australia, North America and New Zealand trips, and in Asia and Latin America it's all about small group adventures with up to 25 travellers. Don't worry if you're not traveling as a couple or with a friend from home – though there are plenty of pairs, 50% of our travellers set off solo, meaning you'll have a ton of opportunities to make new friends.
With over 270 trips around the world and plenty of departure dates to work into your schedule, you'll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure.
About the company:
Contiki are the world leaders in social youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?
Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, the destinations we visit, the cultures we enjoy and the environment, too.
