Plan smarter, travel lighter. Travel Planning collects practical advice for trips across the Maya world—Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras.
Find best-time-to-go guidance (rainy vs. dry season), sample itineraries from quick hops to three-week loops, and transport know-how (Tren Maya, buses/colectivos, rental cars, boats).
We cover border crossings, park hours and ticket quirks, cash vs. cards, connectivity, and realistic daily budgets. Safety info focuses on situational awareness and trusted routes, with links to official advisories. Packing lists favor heat, humidity, and caves—plus camera care. Each article links to nearby Maya site guides, so you can turn research into a route fast.
Details change; verify locally before you go.
