Hi, I'm Karina Duran and I bring something most travel advisors simply can't. I grew up in Cancun, started my career on the resort side, and have spent over 10 years building real relationships across the Riviera Maya. Whether you are planning a destination wedding or your dream Mexico vacation, I know these resorts from the inside out and I will make sure nothing gets lost in translation. Reach out and let's start planning something unforgettable.
Meet Karina
I was born and raised in Cancun, Quintana Roo — right in the heart of Mexico’s resort corridor. The Riviera Maya isn’t just a destination to me, it’s home. I understand the culture, speak the language fluently, and have built real, long-standing relationships with resort teams across the region.
I studied international business at Tecnológico de Monterrey and earned my MBA from IE Business School in Madrid. I have lived across two continents and four countries, which means I bring both deep local knowledge and a global perspective to every trip I plan.
Destination weddings are where I really shine. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and it deserves someone who is truly invested in every detail. My husband and I have been best friends since we were 14, so I know firsthand what it means to build a life with someone you love. That is the heart I bring to every couple I work with, along with direct relationships with resort teams, fluent Spanish communication, and the insider knowledge to make your day exactly what you imagined.
I approach every trip with a personal mindset, because it is not just about where you go. It is about how it feels when you are there.

""Highly Recommend 2 Getaway Travel to anyone wanting to plan a vacation/trip! Made our honeymoon experience so seamless & easy. They checked in leading up to our vacation with tips & suggestions, along with great, timely communication when it came time to check-in for flights. They provided great services beginning to end & we won't travel again without them. Made the entire experience stress free so that we were able to just enjoy ourselves!""

"I truly can’t thank Karina and Rachael enough, they were beyond amazing. Karina.. just wow. She went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was exactly how I wanted it. The whole wedding planning process is such a rollercoaster, and I had a few really unfortunate things happen along the way. During those moments, the way she showed up for me was honestly unbelievable.
She treated me with so much kindness, patience, and care. It never felt transactional, it felt like I was talking to a friend I’d known forever. She genuinely cared, and you could feel that in everything she did. All she wanted was for me to have the most perfect wedding. I will forever be grateful. 🤍✨"

"When you decide having a destination wedding, the whole destination thing becomes an extra thing to think about on top of the wedding. Luckily for me, I DO literally helped me not worry about this whole part!!! Their attention is flawless, the experience was perfect, they help you from step A to step Z. They scout the hotel, give you options, reach out to your guests and help them get everything booked (they even helped them with flights and excursions!!!), they have all of the communication and negotiation with the hotel so on top of all of this, I got some group perks!!! I don’t think I could’ve done this without them and I seriously couldn’t recommend them more! 1000000 out of 10! Shoutout to Karina that literally hold this brides hand and didn’t let it go till the wedding weekend was over! WOWOWOWOW"

""Everything was seamless..after trying to research resorts on our own for our wedding and honeymoon we decided to reach out to 2 Getaway travel. I am so glad we did! They helped us, our guests and coordinated communication with the resort for the ceremony/reception. When it came to switching resorts for our honeymoon it was stress free and both places were perfect! Would not have been able to plan our weddingwithout them.""
