In addition to managing the experiences and accommodation in your itinerary, we can also arrange public transportation (intercity buses), add car rentals for independent travel, or provide private or shared transfers with local drivers, depending on your preference.
Travelers are responsible for managing international flights since, in this case, we cannot offer better rates than those provided by airlines.
If that's what you desire, we can organize a circuit where the guide accompanies your group throughout the entire journey. Alternatively, the trip can be designed with different local guides only for experiences in the visited destinations. For tours, guides can be private or shared, depending on your preference.
It depends on what is included in your trip, as mentioned in your itinerary. You can verify the inclusions with your Travel Specialist.

Few places accept foreign currency, so it is recommended to carry cash, preferably in small bills and in the local currency (Mexican pesos).

Large family groups looking for experiences for all generations: children, adults, and the elderly.

Additionally, we always recommend carrying a basic kit with your preferred medicines in case a minor illness or discomfort occurs during your trip. If something more serious were to happen, our hosts follow a protocol to take you to the nearest medical center, regardless of cost or conditions. These medical centers and travel times are identified in each destination.
A significant portion of those traveling through Rutopía are solo female travelers! They choose us precisely because we provide them with security. All our destinations are carefully selected, with one of our criteria being that they are places where a traveler, whether male or female, can walk safely during the day. While we cannot guarantee that an incident will never occur, we have established guidelines to ensure a safe experience from start to finish. Additionally, we virtually accompany you throughout your experience, so technically, you won't be traveling alone.
