Mexico

Travel to Mexico on a small group adventure and discover a fascinating country of widely contrasting cultures, from the modern to the ancient. Whether you are a travelling alone, with a partner or as part of a larger group, Mexico holidays offer fascinating history and plenty to explore. Marvel at the ancient cities of Teotihuacan and Palenque, enjoy the traditional culture in Chiapas and Oaxaca, snorkel in the underground rivers (cenotes) of the Yucatan and relax by the clear blue waters of Tulum.

The impressive and well-preserved Mayan ruins that dot the Yucatan region date back over a thousand years and show how advanced this civilisation was. The society followed a complex religious order and developed complicated astronomical information to determine the occurrence of events. In Palenque, climb to the top of the Temple of the Cross for a fantastic view across the entire excavated site, with tantalising mounds of jungle covering unexcavated ruins rising through the trees. Explore the famous Chichen Itza. Perhaps one of the best-known sites, and recently included on the list of the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Connections Travel Service isn’t always about the best known locations however. The uniquely preserved frescoes of Bonampak are definitely worth a short detour and a trip down river is the only way to reach the isolated site of Yaxchilan. Shrouded in jungle, with the sounds of howler monkeys echoing in the trees, it’s possible to believe you are among the first to stumble across this hidden gem, well off the beaten track and in the heart of Mexican adventure.

Grenada

Grenada is a rolling, mountainous island, covered with fragrant spice trees and rare tropical flowers. Bordered by stunning beaches, and dotted with picturesque towns, this verdant island has long been a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa. The seductive drifts through the colourful Saturday markets and Grenada's dense forests. In the interior of this volcanic island are cascading rivers and waterfalls, lush rainforests, and one of the most breathtakingly beautiful mountain lakes imaginable. The capital, St. George's, is widely held to be the loveliest city in the Caribbean. Its horseshoe-shaped harbour is surrounded by a pastel rainbow of dockside warehouses and the red-tiled roofs of traditional shops and homes.

Grenada's physical beauty is complemented by its rich history and vibrant, living cultural heritage. Local festivals, fairs, and markets remain an integral part of life on Grenada. Its centuries-old spice plantations and rum distilleries still use traditional methods, emphasizing quality rather than quantity. Although the tourist industry has become more substantial in recent years, the island's easy rhythms and the friendly openness of its residents evoke an atmosphere that has long since vanished elsewhere.

For many visitors, of course, the measure of any island is taken by its beaches and coral reefs, and Grenada offers plenty of both. The island is ringed with miles of picture-perfect strands, including both entrancing black and sugar-fine white sand beaches. Grand Anse Beach, a smooth expanse stretching for two miles around the curve of a gentle bay, is world famous. Grenada has plenty to offer those interested in offshore pleasure as well, with easily accessible and pristine reefs off the coast of both Grenada and its sister island, Carriacou.
