How do we get to starting location?

The most recommended option to get to Palenque (starting point of our Mayan Encounter Tour) from Cancun is with a domestic flight to Villahermosa. The only airline that offers this route is Viva Aerobus. We do not offer flights, however we can guide you with the information. Then, a transfer is required from Villahermosa (airport) to Palenque, the supplement for this transfer is 40 USD per person (private transfer for 2). The travel time is approximately 2 hours.

Is this tour going to be operated anyway or it should be a minimum number of participants to be reached?

All our seat in basis programs operate with a minimum of 2 travellers, and unfortunately we have no confirmed passengers for this tour on the requested dates.

The trip was very well organized. I got picked up and dropped off to the airport without any problems. The drivers were very nice and accommodating.They gave me helpful tips and were patient with me practing Spanish. The hotel Regente was clean and the staff very nice. Everyone in general was always helpful with everything. My orgiinal.city Tour was cancelled but instead i was put on Xochimilko boat ride which was awesome and I am happy it all turned out that way.

The journey was amazing as was the guide Rameses. His knowledge and passion for Mexico is remarkable. We travelled in a small bus which was not suitable for the long trips as most days we had six to eight hours driving in very hot conditions. It was very uncomfortable having six to eight people on the tour in a small bus
