Hidden Mexico
Get ready to discover the hidden side of Mexico’s breathtaking Yucatán peninsula on an outdoor adventure tour with The Nomadic Network that will get your adrenaline pumping!
While most visitors flock to the popular coastal cities of Tulum, Cancun, and Playa del Carmen, our trip takes you off the beaten path to explore the region’s lesser-known gems that many have yet to hear about.
Interested in charming small towns, secluded cenotes (swimming holes), and off-the-beaten-path Mayan ruins like Ek Balam and the more famous Chichen Itza (also a must-see)? What about a boat tour through mangroves followed by indulging in seafood and a dip in the ocean on the coast? With the help of our local connections, we’re able to provide you with an authentic and safe experience that will immerse you in the Yucatán’s rich culture, history, and natural world.
Additionally, as one of the gastronomic centers of Mexico, the Yucatán boasts a cuisine that is often overlooked by tourists who stick to the resorts. Our expert guides will give you a deeper understanding of the region’s heritage, sharing the stories and traditions behind the dishes you’ll taste and we definitely eat well on this trip!
This is an exciting opportunity to see a side of Mexico that many travelers miss. Our journey will take you far from the typical tourist traps and allow you to truly dive into the hidden Mexico that few people get to see.
If you’re seeking a more authentic and immersive travel experience, this is the trip for you.

“Taking a Nomadic Network tour is like having a friend show you around one of their favorite cities. You don’t feel like a tourist as you dig into the local culture.”
– Scott & Dana, Oaxaca

“I fell in love with the friendly, quaint city of Oaxaca. Our small-sized group of 14 strolled and shopped in town, viewed majestic ruins, feasted on local art and murals, danced in the lively Zocalo, and frequented local establishments for scrumptious food and drink. Our Nomadic Network tour was a truly authentic and intimate experience!”
– Phyllis, Oaxaca

“As a solo traveler I’d never been interested in taking a group trip but when I saw TNN was doing a tour in Oaxaca, I knew it would be different from the typical tour. Every activity was curated to really connect with locals, the culture, food, mezcal, and adventure. I felt like I was traveling with a bunch of friends and it was one of my most memorable trips!”
– Vanessa, Oaxaca

“Our Nomadic Network tour to Oaxaca was a fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience!! The team did a fantastic job of curating great food & cultural experiences that were very unique to the Oaxaca region! In addition, our hotel was right across from a lovely park in the heart of Oaxaca city – making it very convenient for exploring the city.”
