Would you not include very fit female 63 and male 68 year olds. Excellent health 👍.

Our tours have a set age range of 18 to 49. Most of our travellers are in their 20s and 30s, and keeping to this range helps us maintain the pace, style, and group dynamic our travellers expect. Because of this, we can't accept travellers over the age of 49 on our tours, we're sincerely sorry about that.

would be possible to do just part of the tour? I would like to start in belize and finish in guatemala...

Central America Intro 18 day would be a better fit for you. This starts in Playa del Carmen (Mexico) and ends in Antigua (Guatamala). Would you still prefer to meet us in Belize? Or meet the group in Mexico and travel there with us?

The trip was very well organised and managed to make a stacked itinerary work seamlessly. There was a great balance between culture, cuisine, nightlife and wildlife. We really got to see the best parts of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. Our guide Ceci was very knowledgeable and incredibly useful at giving recommendations as well as being a friendly kind hearted person who made the trip really special. I had an amazing time and would not have changed anything.Show more

  I don't have 18 days and I did Mexico already... I would like only to do belize and guatemala... Is it possible?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2025
  We can look into that. We'll need to reach out to our local team to ensure it is possible. Where will you be coming from? Logistically it will probably be easiest to meet the group in Playa Del Carmen before they head to Bacalar.

  Traveler•Written July 2025
  I live in Switzerland and was thinking to arrive in belize already and started from there...
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2025
  If you meet us in Belize, that would mean getting yourself from the airport (Belize City) to Caye Caulker to join the group. Are you comfortable organizing those logistics and making your own way there?
