 Playa
del Carmen is one of the most
attractive destinations in the
Mexican Caribbean. Located in
the heart of the Mayan Riviera,
68 km (42 mi) south of Cancun,
it has an ideal subtropical
climate with an average
temperature of 25º C (77º F) and
sunny days throughout most of
the year. During the summer, the
maximum temperature can reach
35º C (95º F).
 At
Playa del Carmen you’ll find
beautiful beaches looking out
onto the Caribbean Sea, which
are ideal places to relax or do
all kinds of water sports:
snorkeling, windsurfing and even
kitesurfing – a new and
exhilarating extreme sport that
combines surfing and
parasailing. For those who like
scuba diving, there are boats
departing from the docks which
offer exciting outings to the
Great Mayan Reef, the second
largest coral reef (system) in
the world. There you can dive at
depths of more than 10 meters
(33 feet) among multicolored
fish and coral that has existed
for more than 500 years. Near
Playa del Carmen you can
discover Playa Paamul and Playa
Paraiso, two beautiful beaches
with calm waters and gorgeous
ecological parks: Xcaret and
Xel-Ha. Also nearby are numerous
sinkholes where you can do
rappelling and cave diving while
exploring the amazing depths of
underground river systems.
Come nightfall, we recommend
that you take a stroll along
Quinta Avenida, one of Playa del
Carmen’s most happening areas.
The avenue is lined with
restaurants, bars, cosmopolitan
nightclubs and a shopping mall
with exclusive boutiques,
clothing stores and jewelry
shops.
