TOURS
Catherwood Travels is named after Frederick
Catherwood, an extraordinary 19th century
artist who brought the ancient Maya cities to
world attention with his drawings.
Catherwood, in the company of John Lloyd
Stephens, traveled extensively through the
Yucatan peninsula exploring Maya ruins,
caves, describing local traditions, and visiting
the haciendas.
Catherwood Travels brings the experiences of
these explorers into the 21st century. Follow
in the footsteps of Stephens and Catherwood
and discover Maya sites in the company of
an archaeologist. Venture into the underworld
of caves and cenotes and meet the gifted
artisans and friendly people of the Yucatan
peninsula. Travel in comfort in a private,
chauffeured vehicle and enjoy exclusive access
to hidden natural wonders and relax in
extraordinary settings.
