Holidays to Riviera Maya – Top Tips for Travellers
November 21st 2017
The Riviera Maya is a popular holiday destination in Mexico. The laid back, low rise surroundings of the resorts are popular with holidaymakers who want to relax and enjoy some Mexican sunshine. Holidays to Riviera Maya feature great beaches, water activities and some of the best all-inclusive resorts in Mexico.
Riviera Maya is about 30 minutes’ drive from Cancun on the eastern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula. The Riviera Maya stretches along the Caribbean coastline from Playa del Carmen in the North to Tulum in the South. Most visitors access Riviera Maya via Cancun International Airport.
Riviera Maya is famous for its water activities. Reef diving and snorkelling are very popular activities in the area. There are several beautiful Cenotes and underground caves in the area that are worth exploring. Rio Secreto is one of these; a series of Cenotes connected by an underground river, just 5km south of Playa del Carmen. The ancient Mayan ruins at Tulum are well worth exploring, bring a hat and sunscreen though, it is quite exposed and can get very hot.
