What is it that attracts the most about Mahahual? Is it this simple atmosphere that sets it apart from other places? Could it be the majestic sea embracing the shores, providing the soft sound of the waves? Or is it this combination of crystal-clear water contrasting with a bold green that defines a daring and dense jungle? Town, near Chetumal, the capital of the state of Quintana Roo, is a mystery, full of beauty, in the Caribbean Sea.

Undoubtedly, those who love this destination will say that all the factors are in harmony to make this a place where you can enjoy tranquility and the goodness of nature. Town is a quiet fishing village near Chetumal that has a unique style, blending comfort for travelers without altering the picturesque natural scenery that characterizes it; a haven that rivals any other tourist destination while maintaining its rural and local charm.

The 1700-meter pier allows you to take in the panoramic beauty of the place, offering breathtaking sunsets as well as full moon nights that steal many sighs. This is why it becomes the favorite spot for all those who want to enjoy a walk or a bike ride.

Its pristine, clean, and beautiful beaches are this village’s main attraction. You can enjoy them not only under radiant sunshine and soft sand but also by diving into the sea, daring to discover through snorkeling or scuba diving, a mysterious world inhabited by incredible and colorful creatures. Without a doubt, this is an experience that no one should miss: the location of the Town, close to Banco Chinchorro, a coral atoll that showcases the diverse aquatic flora and fauna, surprising everyone and highlighting the magnificence of nature.

The place is also recommended for those who enjoy sport fishing. Undoubtedly, the scene is more than tempting: you, your fishing rod, and a boat in the middle of a stunning landscape. Additionally, there is a pier here with constant activity from boats ferrying travelers eager to explore the surroundings and anchor in this Caribbean paradise, where the prevailing calm is the best ingredient for a good getaway.

When your appetite awakens, nothing is better than the colorful family-run stalls where you can enjoy a double delight: the locals’ hospitality and the delicious gastronomy.

Town is a postcard-like destination unlike many others, a Mexican corner that has survived the extreme invasion of hotels and buildings while still offering the comfort desired by every traveler. It’s the place where nature is the common denominator, without sacrificing luxury. And although the destination was affected by Hurricane Dean in 2007, great efforts were made to restore its splendor and beauty. The results are truly amazing. The conclusion? Town is living proof that “love at first sight” exists.
