This stage of the journey takes you from Oaxaca across to the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula, via the coastlines of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The mostly flat peninsula is littered with ancient Mayan archaeological sites, some the most popular being Palenque, Chichen-Itza and Tulum, which you’ll visit during this trip. The final part of the stage will take you from the popular spot of Cancun, through the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, before leaving Mexico and entering Belize via the string of islands along the beautiful Belize Barrier Reef.<\/p>\n
