Mérida & the Northwest
School & Student Trips
School trips Yucatán teachers plan can mix Maya history, language, ecology and community visits with practical logistics for supervised groups. We can arrange transport, local guides and activity days for school and university groups, with clear itineraries and a single point of contact.
School & Student Trips: our options
Yucatán offers rich learning material: Maya archaeology at Uxmal and Chichén Itzá, cenote ecology, Yucatec Maya language and the food and crafts of rural villages. A well-planned trip links these to classroom goals.
We can arrange school trips yucatan groups ask for: archaeology days, community and village visits, cooking or craft workshops, and nature outings at Celestún. We help with itineraries, group sizes and supervision ratios, and coordinate with teachers on learning aims.

Who it's for
For teachers and group leaders planning supervised trips with a learning angle. University groups can combine field study with cultural experiences.
Student groups must follow safety rules and supervision ratios, which we discuss in advance.
When to go
The dry season, November to April, is the most practical, though avoid peak holiday weeks. Early mornings are better for site visits.
From May to October, rain and heat may require indoor alternatives. Book at least a month ahead.
