There is a place on the coast of the Mexican Caribbean that combines all the characteristics to be one of the favorites. It is the Riviera Maya, a region that concentrates the most beautiful beach destinations that any traveler can imagine.

Among these destinations, Cancún and Playa del Carmen lead the list, both located in the state of Quintana Roo and among the most chosen in the country. Their paradisiacal beaches and a wide range of activities for all tastes, in addition to excellent service quality offered to the most demanding travelers, make them very popular destinations not only in the country but around the world.

Who wouldn’t want to spend a few days relaxing on fine sandy beaches and transparent waters? What traveler wouldn’t delight in admiring the landscapes that make up these destinations? Which curious spirit wouldn’t find it interesting to discover archaeological remains that testify to the presence of the Mayan civilization in these lands? The Riviera Maya promises all this and much more. To get to know it, you must start with one of its main cities: Playa del Carmen.

Located on the Yucatán Peninsula and just 52 km from Cancun, Playa del Carmen differs from its counterpart in its traditional fishing village spirit, which can still be perceived in some locations in this Caribbean destination. While the beach has grown more popular over time, it is essential to know that not long ago, it had the tranquility typical of a small town. Today, it is a cosmopolitan destination that welcomes travelers from all over the world and offers every kind of proposal to enjoy and relax as each one deserves and expects.

What can you do in this city, besides enjoying its Caribbean atmosphere and dreamlike beaches? Everything is possible here, but we recommend some outings that you can enjoy to the fullest and always remember:

  • Visit the Water Parks: very close to Playa del Carmen is the Xcaret park, where you can get to know the marine fauna inhabiting the waters of this Caribbean region, including over 500 species of seaweed. Another great option is Xel-Há, where you can experience the unforgettable opportunity to swim with dolphins. This park is one of the best aquariums in the Riviera Maya, where you can also enjoy diving and discover a wonderful world that lies beneath the water.
  • Stroll along Fifth Avenue: one of the main arteries and most famous streets of Playa del Carmen. A walk here is the ideal outing for shopping or simply window shopping and enjoying a stroll amid lights, locals, and fun.
  • Enjoy sports and outdoor activities: both in Playa del Carmen and in other cities of the Riviera Maya, you can unleash your sporting spirit. Golf and tennis courses are among the most sought-after spots for those who choose to engage in sports during their vacation. Additionally, you can enjoy adventures in the jungle, diving, underwater tours, and hundreds of other alternatives.

Playa del Carmen is waiting for you to enjoy many activities and an unparalleled Caribbean setting. Don’t miss it!
