"Liddy Says"

"The two trips on this page follow the same route, from Playa del Carmen down to Antigua in Guatemala, but this is the longer one which allows you a bit more time to soak up the sights and explore at a more leisurely pace. It also takes you San Ignacio, a great base for exploring the surrounding jungles and you have a homestay in San Jorge La Laguna, a real highlight."
