A passionate celebration of life, Mexico is a country of countries. From the glorious metropolis of Mexico City to the jungles of Chiapas, a visit to Mexico is a voyage through the living veins of a fascinating country. Cities stand proud in the colonial heartland, matched only by the spectacular archaeological sites of Teotihuacán (Mexico City) and Uxmal (Yucatan).
Luxury Mexico Holidays 2012, 2013 with Abercrombie & Kent will do more than just relax you - it will inspire you.
Holidays in Mexico can take in glorious cultural and archaeological highlights, as well as the extensive Pacific and Caribbean coastline. With stunning beaches, beautiful bays and teeming reefs, it is the place to go to relax in luxury. Mexico's Caribbean waters hide tropical coral gardens and kiss the powdery white sands of the Riviera Maya, whilst the deep blue Pacific Coast is more commanding, yet stunning, and has biologically diverse waters that play host to an exciting variety of whales and dolphins.
During any luxury holiday in Mexico you should also consider a visit to the Colonial Heartland recognised as the region that sparked the Mexican revolution in 1911, or for spectacular scenery the Copper Canyon which is nearly four times the volume of the Grand Canyon, the largest canyon in North America. Southwest Mexico you will find Oaxaca's rocky landscape and crystalline skies which create vistas and landscapes that are found nowhere else in the world. In Baja California you will discover a wide range of natural beauty, a rich diversity of wildlife and varied histories proving that Mexico holidays will effortlessly inspire you.
Luxury hotels can be found on both coastlines and offer an abundance of activities, accommodation options and excellent service and cuisine. Luxury holidays in Mexico can be tailored to every taste.
Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, our 14 day luxury Mexico holidays will cost from £3,975 per person based on two adults sharing with flights from the UK and subject to availability.

Guest Testimonial
Quite simply excellent. If I could say one thing it is that Egypt is the place to go right now, as there were virtually no tourists at some of the sights and that,I should think, is quite rare!
