Meet the CEO
Betty Bolte
My love affair with Latin American began with a year’s journey, taking a break from Europe, learning Spanish and exploring a different side of life. This wonderful adventure inspired my life in the world of travel beginning as a tour leader taking groups through Mexico and Central America in the late 1990s. After deciding to make Mexico my home in 2000, I set up Solana Tours in order to share my extensive experience and enthusiasm for our destinations in designing new routes for my own clients.
My personal knowledge of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize means that Solana Tours can provide a really special adventure which fits your needs perfectly.
For many years, we have been working directly with knowledgeable local tour guides and small hotels, building strong relationships, to ensure that our clients get a real feel for the area and the people. To me this is what travel is all about…

Hi, My name is Erika and I’m head of our operations department at Solana Tours.
I’m thankfull for all the things around me, I enjoy the simple things of life and I love to share all moments with my Family and Friends, I enjoy traveling with a backpack and walk around taking pictures, my favorite time of the day is sunset with a good coffee.
Elvira Huijsen
Hola! I am Elvira and I am in charge of the sales department at Solana Tours. I am from the Netherlands but have found my new home here in Mexico already many years ago. I love the way of living here, everything is more relaxed, people are so open and friendly and make you feel welcome everywhere you go. And of course the great weather all year round is helping too 😉
In my free time I love to go to the beach and visit new restaurants as I am a hugh foodie and love everything about the mexican food, except maybe the hot salsas as I am still not used to them ;-). My favorite place would be Playa del Carmen, as this is my home. But I also love to visit the island of Isla Mujeres, the cenotes in the Yucatán área and Mexico City, where my boyfriend is from.
Mayela Rodriguez
I’m a person who always sees everything in a positive way! I feel very lucky living in Playa del Carmen and to be able to enjoy all the Iandscapes surrounding me. Mainly our amazing cenotes , beaches, and all the natural places. I love visiting the “pueblitos mágicos” and I love the feeling every time I discover a new one! I’m also a fan of the Mexican cuisine with its thousands of delicious dishes. My favourite will always be “the tacos” however they may be filled. Normally in my free time I like watching movies and stay at home relaxing, but my perfect day will be sitting on a little known beach with family & friends,my doggies and of course a cold beer in my hand.
Valeria Chávez
Hi! I’m Valeria, I’m originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco (Home of tequila and mariachi!) but moved to Playa del Carmen 4 years ago. I’m a very proud mom and love my life here! Away from the big city, traffic and pollution. My perfect day is going to the beach and enjoy the sun. I love the diversity that this town offers. I really enjoy being at home with my family but never say no to an adventure! I Love going to new places and discover what they have to offer.
Lourdes Lecona
My name is Lourdes Lecona and I am originally from the city of Puebla. I like to travel with my family, get to know different places and enjoy nature. I am in the administration department of Solana Tours. I decided to come to work in the Riviera Maya, because from the moment I came to Playa del Carmen, I fell in love with the beach, the sun, the ruins, the vegetation. That’s why I have been living here for 10 years and without a doubt, I really enjoy living in this place.
Laura Cruz Saldaña
Hola! I am Lau, I´m from Puebla but I moved to Playa del Carmen 15 years ago, so for conviction I´m now a proud “Playense”. I love to travel and discover new places, but I also really enjoy staying at home with my family or talking for hours with friends. I believe that life is gorgeous so I try to enjoy every moment and smile as much as I can.
Elizabeth Mora
Hello everyone! This is Ely. I’ve been living in Playa del Carmen for almost 13 years and I love to live close to the beach.
I like traveling around the world discovering other cultures and making new friends. My dream is to visit as many countries as I can, collecting big memories.
My day starts with a cup of coffee and continues with limitless sets of music. I like to attend concerts, discover new restaurants and art exhibitions.
