Mexico

Crossing over from Cuba into southern Mexico opened up a far more expansive overland adventure, weaving through dramatic river gorges, deep-jungle Maya ruins, ancient wonders of the world, and the sun-soaked Caribbean coast. Touching down in Tabasco served as the gateway into the lush landscapes of the south—venturing out on the water beneath the colossal cliff faces of Sumidero Canyon and walking among the mist-shrouded jungle pyramids of Palenque. Taking the long-distance buses up through the fortified colonial streets of Campeche and across the Yucatán Peninsula brought us face-to-face with the staggering scale of Chichén Itzá, before capping off the journey on the coast with turquoise waters, powder-white sand, and the electric energy of The BPM Festival.

Highlights from Our Days in Mexico

  • Cruising Sumidero Canyon: Taking a boat deep into the dramatic river gorge, dwarfed by the sheer vertical limestone cliffs and lush vegetation rising hundreds of meters straight out of the water.

  • The Jungle Ruins of Palenque: Exploring the ancient, moss-draped stone terraces and the iconic Temple of the Inscriptions, dramatically set right against the emerald edge of the dense rainforest canopy.

  • Wonders at Chichén Itzá: Standing in awe before El Castillo (the Temple of Kukulcán), capturing the sheer geometric symmetry of the massive step-pyramid set beneath shifting storm clouds and open blue skies.

  • Caribbean Coastline & Turquoise Waters: Trading archaeological sites for palm trees and white sand, unwinding along the warm, calm waters as red-and-white fishing pangas bobbed near the shore.

  • Daytime Sets at The BPM Festival: Diving into the music scene right on the beach, catching incredible DJ sets under the open-air canopy during The BPM Festival.

  • The Overland Route Across the Peninsula: Navigating the long-distance bus routes from Tabasco through the historic colonial bastions of Campeche all the way to the vibrant shores of Cancún.
