BALI

With a land of magical beaches and romantic coastlines, our Bali tour (Jan. 7-18, 2014) promises to fulfill your bucket list destination with a "WOW factor!". Locals describe it as a "heaven on earth" with its spiritual balance. Mystical Hindu and Buddhist pagodas populate the lush green landscapes. Ubud is the cultural center with its incredible handicrafts of delicate woodcarvings, silk textiles, bronze & stone sculptures, silver jewelries. Special to our group will be the clay center visits on both Bali and Lombok islands. Incredible snorkeling is scheduled. And we have included a special cooking class just for us! Side options such as an elephant safari, rafting, or downhill cycling could add to your adventure. Our list of stunning hotel accommodations will have you saying, "OMG!...our place to stay?" All breakfasts are included. We held back on other meals (exceptions: Welcome/Farewell Dinners) to save you money. The local restaurant cuisines are far less expensive with a greater variety than prepaid, hotel meals. MexiMayan Academic Tours and I have arranged only 20 reserved seats with Cathay Pacific Airlines at a group rate. It would be difficult to find a better deal with this custom tailored tour.
