Playa del Carmen
Day 1-10
We’ll meet at our apartment in Playa del Carmen or arrive together by transfer from the airport for those joining after Part 1. The first day(s) are all about settling in: relaxing at the pool or terrace, exploring Playa’s lively streets, enjoying local food and taking the first walk to the beach. It’s the perfect chance to get to know each other and ease into the Caribbean vibe before our adventures start.

Yucatán
Day 10
In Yucatán we’ll mix culture, adventure and fun. While Playa del Carmen will be our base, we'll explore together the whole Peninsula (or at least parts of 😅). We wander through the ancient Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World with a private guided tour, and cool off in nearby cenotes – natural sinkholes with crystal-clear water that feel like hidden caves. We’ll take the ferry to Cozumel and head out on a private boat to El Cielo, a sandbank in the middle of the sea famous for its shallow turquoise water and starfish on the ocean floor. Back on the mainland, we’ll spend a full day at Xcaret Park, where underground rivers, wildlife, Mexican food and an incredible evening show all come together. And since nights in Playa del Carmen are just as vibrant as the days, we’ll also experience "Coco Bongo", a legendary show club with acrobats, dancers, live music and a party atmosphere you won’t forget. Between the highlights, there’s still space to enjoy Playa’s beaches, street food and local markets – the perfect balance of planned adventures and free time. 🌴✨

Mérida
Day 10
OPTIONAL ADD-ON: Overnight Stay in Mérida 🌆 Mérida, the capital of Yucatán, is a colorful colonial city known as the “White City.” Spending a night here means diving deeper into authentic Mexican culture: strolling through pastel-colored streets, exploring local markets full of Yucatecan food and enjoying the evening buzz at Plaza Grande. By staying overnight instead of rushing through on a day trip, we’ll have time to wander at our own pace, discover street music, and maybe even catch one of Mérida’s cultural performances or light shows at the cathedral. It’s the perfect contrast to the beach life of Playa del Carmen – less touristy but full of local history and charm. Bus one way: ~35 Euro | ~ 5 hours (The price for hotel/ airbnb depends on the final group size, as we will split costs)

Holbox Island
Day 10
OPTIONAL ADD-ON: Overnight Stay in Holbox 🏝 Holbox is the definition of island escape. After taking the ferry from Chiquilá (getting there by shuttle from Playa) you’ll find sandy streets with no cars, colorful murals and hammocks strung up over turquoise water. Staying overnight makes all the difference: you can watch the sunset at Punta Cocos, rent bikes or golf carts to explore the island by day and – if the season allows – see the magical bioluminescence glow in the water at night. The vibe is slow, bohemian and carefree. While Playa del Carmen has energy and nightlife, Holbox is all about slowing down and soaking up nature’s magic, waking up to the sound of waves. Price per person depends on how many people wanting to join. (Approx. 100 - 150 Euro per Person incl. Accomodation and round trip transfer from Playa) Travel time to Chiquilá: 2~3 hours by shuttle | one way Travel time on ferry: ~30 minutes to Holbox | one way
