SMALL SHIP MEXICO CRUISES

Windstar doesn’t just take you to interesting places. It takes you into local indigenous communities, to sanctuaries and national parks where you can spot local toucans and crocodiles in their native habitats.

Explore the legacy of the Mayans, one of the most advanced cultures in the world. In Belize, tour the ceremonial chambers in the Crystal Caves, or the ornate temples and pyramids in Tulum and Cozumel.

When traveling with Windstar, you’ll have a more authentic experience. Listen to indigenous peoples speak in ancient Mayan, taste Garifuna crispy yucca bread and shop for traditional Ngobe-Buglé handbags.

Climb Mayan Ruins in Port Costa Maya, part of the massive Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Watch dolphins splash in Banco Chinchorro Biosphere Reserve. Or stroll the port for local artisan crafts and good bars.

Visit Tulúm, a pre-Colombian Mayan walled city. Tulum was one of the last cities inhabited by the Mayans. The ruins are situated on 12-meter tall cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Get Closer to Mexico

Fiestas are a way of life in Mexico, fitting for a country with so much to celebrate. Mayan temples bathed in desert light and shadow. Cuisines and coastlines that marry the smooth and soothing with the surprisingly sharp and dramatic. Come in search of trophy marlin, an authentic mole, the perfect beach, and find them all in Mexico. Along with an all-suite white-and-teak ship to frame each stunning sunset.

The Descending God

As you tour the limestone ruins in Tulum, pay close attention to the ancient temple surfaces. You’ll see a face with feet above its head as if it were plummeting towards the world. This is the figure of the descending god. You can see the figure chiseled on El Castillo, the largest pyramid in Tulum, on the Temple of Frescoes, where you can visit a mural painted in three sections depicting the Mayan underworld, the land of the living and the rain gods. Be awed and visit all the ruins on a Windstar voyage to Mexico.
