About
Operated by Senor Travel Bug, travel in Mexico's most iconic classic car, the VW Beetle (or a modern car), to explore four sides of the Riviera Maya. Start the day by swimming above a reef and then with turtles in their natural environment, guided by a certified expert. Next, visit the Mayan archaeological ruins at Tulum, one of Mexico's most iconic sites, with ruins perched on a clifftop above the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
