**Tour description**
From Mexico City to the Pacific coast, experience the secrets of Mexican culture - old and new. Travel through the heart of the Mexican revolution, climb pyramids and volcanoes, cross picturesque lakes to traditional villages, sunbathe on deserted beaches and walk the narrow streets of Mexico''s colonial past.
Leaving Mexico City behind, head north to the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan, where you can climb the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon and walk the Avenue of the Dead. Journey to the lovely historic towns in Guanajuato, where the Mexican Revolution began almost two hundred years ago.
Spend the next two days in the Michoacan highlands, inhabited by the Purepecha Indians who have laced their distinct culture of the past with modern Mexico. Walk the streets of the colonial town of Patzcuaro with its lovely markets and zocalo. Then, travel through rugged mountains to the small village of Angahuan, where we can hike or ride horses to the Paricutin volcano, which erupted only a few decades ago and covered several villages with liquid stone.
Next, travel to Mexico''s second largest city and capital of Jalisco, Guadalajara, home of mariachi bands and tequila. Spend time exploring this city''s famous markets and zocalo before dropping down to the sea and a secluded beach camp near the exciting city of Puerto Vallarta. For the next two days, sunbathe, swim, sea kayak or snorkel in the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Take an included boat ride out to the Marietas Island, with its abundance of undisturbed bird and sea life.
Continuing down the Pacific Coast, visit the small fishing village of Playa Azul on the way to one of the world''s most spectacular port cities, Acapulco. Watch the cliff divers at La Quebrada before getting a taste of nightlife Mexican-style. Leaving the coast behind, head to the colonial silver-mining town of Taxco, one of Mexico''s most picturesque and pleasant places. Spend free time exploring its narrow cobblestone streets and colourful markets, before ending this trek back in Mexico City.
