Touch down in Mexico City, the country's energetic capital. You’ll spend your first two days admiring the handsome architecture, sampling the incredible culinary scene and discovering the city’s rich artistic heritage, learning about the likes of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Your private tour of the city includes a mouthwatering tasting session with master chocolatier José Ramón Castillo. You’ll also board a brightly coloured trajinera boat for a cruise around the bewitching Aztec floating gardens of Xochimilco, and take an unforgettable hot air balloon ride high above the vast pre-Columbian pyramids of Teotihuacán.
Then it’s time to head west to the pink-hued colonial town of Morelia, still largely undiscovered by the tourist masses and home to the most impressive cathedral in Mexico. Next stop is Pátzcuaro, where you’ll cross a lake to the traffic-free island of Janitzio. Your journey through Mexico climaxes amongst the fir forests near Angangueo, where the air is filled with great orange clouds of monarch butterflies
Over a hundred million monarchs migrate here every year, and no one really knows why - but the sight of trees topped with thousands of beating wings is extraordinarily beautiful. Astonishingly, it takes several generations to complete the migration, so none of the butterflies you will see in Mexico have been there before, nor will any of them ever return.After your butterfly encounter, it’s time for a flight to the laid-back resort of Puerto Vallarta for three nights R&R in one Mexico’s most enticing beach destinations.
