 The
Mayan Riviera, a natural
paradise that merges with the
waters of the Caribbean Sea, is
a coastal strip that stretches
more than 120 km (75 mi) from
Puerto Morelos to Punta Allen,
in the state of Quintana Roo.
The climate in this Yucatan
Peninsula region is subtropical
with an average temperature of
25°C (77°F).
Considered one of the fastest
growing tourist destinations
over the last decade, here you
can relax or enjoy recreational
activities at luxurious resorts
nestled in the jungle. The posh
hotels offer exclusive golf
courses, spas and white-sand
beaches, such as El Secreto and
El Paraiso, where you can bask
in the sun and indulge in all
kinds of water sports. For
example, you can scuba dive off
the coast at a depth of more
than 10 meters (33 feet) as you
take in the spectacular sights
of the Great Meso-American
Barrier Reef.
You
can also discover ancient Mayan
cities such as Coba and Tulum;
the latter is located right on
the beach. What’s more, you can
visit incredible ecological
reserves such as Sian Ka'an,
which was declared a World
Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
Here you can take part in
eco-tourism outings, sailfish
and marlin fishing, and other
outdoor activities such as: long
walks or horseback riding, while
enjoying the beautiful backdrop
of the Caribbean Sea. During
your visit to the Mayan Riviera,
do not miss out on Xcaret and
Xel-Há, two of Mexico’s most
important theme parks, where you
can see fascinating indigenous
wildlife and live the
unforgettable experience of
snorkeling in underground
rivers.
At dusk, don’t forget to
visit the spectacular
nightclubs, where you can chat
with friends over drinks, or you
can visit a restaurant and treat
yourself to a delicious lobster
dinner. These are just some of
things you can do in the Mayan
Riviera, which is why it has
earned a reputation as the ideal
destination to enjoy life.
