The Riviera Maya is one of Mexico's most beautiful tourist destinations. Located on the coast of Quintana Roo, in the Yucatan Peninsula, the Riviera Maya comprises 74 miles of sandy beaches, lapped by the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea. There are many all inclusive hotels, small cabanas and eco-friendly lodgings, as well as endless activities, awe-inspiring natural attractions, and charming villages that have made this one of the most popular destinations in the country.
Playa de Carmen is the heart of the Riviera Maya, famous for its chic, cosmopolitan, yet laid-back ambience. However, the area also features amazing eco-parks, such as Xcaret and Xel-Ha, definitely worth putting on your list of places to visit during your trip to the Riviera Maya. The most breathtaking beaches are located at Xpu-ha, Kantenah, Xcacel, Akumal, and Punta Allen. There are also luxurious resorts and condominiums in Puerto Aventuras.
The Riviera Maya is filled with countless archaeological sites, including Tulum, Coba, and Muyil, extraordinary landmarks that remain as evidence of the ancient Mayan civilization. Towards the southern end of the Riviera Maya is the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a large protected wilderness area and national park, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The Riviera Maya offers unique opportunities for diving and snorkeling. It is home to the second largest barrier reef where thousands of marine species live in the wonderfully warm, clear waters.
The area's cenotes, water-filled limestone sinkholes that are only found in the Yucatan Peninsula and the Riviera Maya, are really unique places to dive. This area also comprises two of the longest underground river systems in the world, attracting divers and cave divers from around the world.
Don't pass up on the opportunity to visit the Riviera Maya for fear of spending too much. A great thing about the Riviera Maya is that it offers lots of hotels and activities for all budgets. When looking for a hotel in the Riviera Maya, you can choose from a simple but charming cabana on a secluded beach, to an elegant suite in a big resort with luxurious amenities.
As far as activities, excursions, and tours are concerned, the options are endless. From beach outings and horseback riding, to swimming with dolphins and visits to the eco-parks, you'll never be short of something to do here. Choosing a vacation to the Riviera Maya is a matter of personal taste and it depends on the kind of vacation you are looking for, but you can rest assured that whatever you choose will be an unforgettable experience for you and your family. Mexico's Riviera Maya really does have something for everyone!
