playa mango is one of the beaches which is located as close to the entrance to Rio Istian as possible and therefore the kayaking route is ensured to be focused on the beautiful river rahter than a long kayaking route along the beach. apart from that, we have a magnificant view of conception volcano and a bar restaurant that allows our clients to enjoy a nice refreshment before and after the tour or a rich lunch or dinner. the ambient of playa mango has no competition in the area of merida

Inclusions: the use of the kayaks

Exclusions: Private transportation, Lunch

Playa Mango is a small beach but it is wide with soft sand, a patio over the water, chairs and tables, shade, a swing over the water and an awesome view of Volcan Conception. You can get drinks and typical food there.

If you want to connect with people who have a very different culture than your own, and if you want to learn and grow as a person—consider spending a week or more in Spanish school. It will make for a very rewarding trip that you will always remember. Whether for a week, a month, or a year—anyone who has ever done it will agree that it’s a much deeper, more meaningful, and more memorable way to travel. It’s also very inexpensive and a wonderful way to support local culture and local people.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Lunch, Dinner, Homestay : 7 days with a local family, Breakfast

ITA gave me the experience of a lifetime and surrounded me with warm and welcoming people. The hotel made me feel like a queen, our activities gave me a sense of thrill, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made me feel so accepted. With travel you sometimes say "Maybe ill come back again someday. Who knows." After jumping into this adventure, I KNOW it is a destination I will go back to. There are no "what ifs" or "maybes" for me. It was that memorable and life changing. ITA made sure of it with their amazing team of DOERS!
