Everyone should be getting excited for school this September. Forget the classrooms and books, this school is for the old souls and the young at heart and is all about traveling and hands-on experience. We’re talking about Unravel’s Travel School trip to Mexico and Guatemala, where you’ll learn to get off the beaten path while being a safe, smart traveler.
There is no better place to gain the grit to travel on your own than in Mexico and Guatemala. They’ve got it all from beaches to cities, mountains and ruins… and even some banging tacos! Let Unravel get you off the beaten path and enable you to travel safely and smartly.
Some people may be weary of traveling ‘South of the Border,’ but despite the real threats of drug cartel violence in Mexico, Unravel takes to areas unaffected and will show that you have to make the most out of your journey. Stay out of harm’s way by traveling in small groups, avoiding areas of contention, and supporting local businesses—all things Unravel Travel does to travel sustainably and responsibly!
The United States Department of State says there’s no reason to believe that any of the violence in Mexico is targeted toward tourists, but as with any travel destination you should always be aware of your surroundings. We can teach you how to do this and more if you choose to join us on our travel school adventure!

I just came back from Cancun Mexico and I must agree it’s not all of Mexico that is suffering from the cartel violence, just the northern tips. But anyway, I had lots of fun! The food and attractions in Cancun are amazing and the hospitality as always was outstanding.
