Route notes
Why this routing works
This five-week itinerary is built as a multi-stop loop from Sacramento, with Medellin used twice rather than treated as a single pass-through. The routing breaks into a 16-night stay in Medellin, a 4-night segment in Cuzco, a return to Medellin for 10 more nights, then a 3-night stop in Tulum before the final flight back to Sacramento.
From a ticketing standpoint, the key feature here is the repeated Colombia stop. Booking this as a structured multi-stop itinerary keeps the sequence fixed across all flight segments: Sacramento–Medellin–Cuzco–Medellin–Tulum–Sacramento. That is useful when a route needs an intentional backtrack instead of a simple one-way progression.
Timing is also straightforward. With 33 nights on the ground spread across four stopovers, this route fits a five-week window without overly short turnarounds between most stops. The shortest stays are concentrated at the end of the trip, while the longest time is allocated to Medellin across two separate visits.
Overall, it suits travelers who want a compact South/Central American multi-stop plan anchored by one city appearing twice in the ticket.
