Day 1. Mexico City
Arrival, reception and transfer to the deluxe Four Seasons Hotel. Dinner at the hotel.  

Day 2. Mexico City
After breakfast, a guided city tour through Mexico City, starting from The Zocalo, the historical centre of Mexico City. The tour includes the National Palace, famous for its colourful murals by one of Mexico’s greatest artists, Diego Rivera; the Cathedral Metropolitana, perhaps the most impressive in all of Mexico. Built by the Spanish in the 1520s, it was erected directly above the sacrificial ceremonial site of the Aztecs where rows of skulls were displayed. After a delicious lunch transfer to the fabulous 18 hole Club de Golf Bellavista, located only seven miles from then hotel. Enjoy your first round of golf at this beautiful club that was designed by Persy Clifford in 1962. Return to your hotel for dinner and accommodation.

Day 3. Mexico - Teotihuacan
After breakfast, excursion to the fabulous archaeological site of Teotihuacán lying in the valley of Mexico. This is the world famous site of the huge Pirámides del Sol y de la Luna (Pyramids of the Sun and Moon), and was once Mexico's largest ancient city and the capital of what was probably the country's largest pre-Hispanic empire. The site's main ‘road’ is the famous Avenue of the Dead, a monumental 2km (1.2miles) thoroughfare lined with the former palaces of Teotihuacán's elite. To its south is the pyramid-bedecked La Ciudadela, believed to have been the residence of the city's supreme ruler. Enclosed within the citadel's walls is the Quetzalcóatl Temple, with its striking serpent carvings. Heading north, the avenue passes the world's third-largest pyramid: the awe-inspiring, 70m (230ft), 248- stepped Pyramid of the Sun. The pyramid was originally painted a suitably sun-drenched, bloody red. The avenue terminates at the Pyramid of the Moon, flanked by the 12 temple platforms of the Plaza de la Luna. Nearby are the beautifully frescoed Palace of the Quetzal Butterfly, the Jaguar Palace and the Temple of the Plumed Conch Shells. Teotihuacán's most famous mural, the Paradise of Tláloc, is in the Tepantitla Palace, a priest's residence northeast of the Pyramid of the Sun. The site also has a museum to help make sense of it all. After the tour, lunch before returning to your hotel in Mexico City for dinner and accommodation.

Day 4. Mexico – Merida
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the flight to Merida and transfer to your hotel, the Hacienda Xcanatun a privately owned and operated small luxury hotel. Conveniently located, it is only minutes from Mérida; one of Mexico's most nostalgic colonial cities.

Merida combines colonial-era architecture with a rich Indian heritage. Many of the city's older buildings, date back to the 17th and 18th century, and have white and pastel exteriors and have earned the city its nickname, "White City". After a delicious lunch, transfer to Golf Club of Yucatan for a round of golf. The course, complete with 18 holes and a par 72, is located just off the Merida-Progreso highway.

The sport of golf was brought to the Yucatan 35 years ago (1969) when the visionary architect Felix Mier y Teran and Mr.Vicente Erosa got together, bought the land, designed the course and then built some homes that were the beginning of the development that is built between the greens and fairways. Chance to visit Merida in the evening before dinner and accommodation at the Xcanatun.

Day 5. Merida – Chichen Itza
After breakfast, excursion to Chichen Itza and a guided tour of this ancient Mayan city, dating back to 514 AD.

A large Mayan community thrived here between around 700AD and 900AD, and built most of the structures in the southern area. However, the main buildings in the central area, including the Pyramid of Kukulkán, the Temple of the Warriors and the Ball Court, are Toltec in design and influence. Towering above the other buildings at 79 feet (24 m) high, the Pyramid of Kukulkán has a structured feel about it. Two of its sides have been completely restored, the other two were left to show the condition before work commenced. Each side had originally 91 steps, adding the platform at the top as a final step there are 365 in total one for every day of the year. Further evidence that this building was linked to the Mayan interests of astronomy and the calendar is demonstrated at the spring and autumn equinox. On these days the shadow of the sun playing on the stairs causes the illusion of a snake processing down the pyramid in the direction of the cenote. The temple at the top of the pyramid has carvings of Chac, the rain god, and Quetzalcóatl, the serpent god. Return to your hotel in Merida.

Day 6. Merida - Cozumel
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the flight to Cozumel and transfer to the deluxe InterContinental Presidente Cozumel Resort Spa.
