The capital of the Riviera Maya,
Playa del Carmen, evolved from a small
village of Mayan pilgrims to a lively,
cosmopolitan city with the highest urban
growth in the country. Its natural
features, beauty and long beaches, its
enviable geographical location and its
blend of sea and jungle make this
destination on the Mexican Caribbean a
magnet for both Mexicans and visitors
from other parts of the world.
In this diverse city, activities and
imagination go hand in hand: the coast
lends itself to all kinds of water
sports. There are diving facilities,
sport fishing and jungle treks to nearby
archaeological sites.
The other famous destinations of the
riviera, each with its own unique
character and attractions, are Akumal,
Tulum, Puerto Aventuras to name but a
few.
