Cancun, among the youngest tourist resorts in Mexico, was just a gleam in the eye of the tourism industry in the late 1960's. Prior to the intense campaign for luxurious mega-resorts to be built here, Cancun was just another sleepy fishing village among the many that dotted the Caribbean shoreline. Located on the Caribbean Coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun is in the northern part of the Quintana Roo, Mexico's newest state.
Here, you will find a mixture of activities, ranging from a relaxing day on the white sand beaches surrounded by beautiful turquoise clear water to the intense party scene of Cancun's famous nightlife. There are many choices for day trips to explore the archaeological ruins of the Mayan culture or enjoy a Caribbean water park. Fun-filled activities are always the main theme of these excursions. Tourists enjoy sun-filled warm tropical days and nights at this most popular resort location in Mexico!
No other place in the Caribbean, or the world, gives you the latest in luxury resorts at the doorstep of the ancient civilizations of the mysterious Maya. Chichen-Itza, Tulum, and Coba all are spectacular examples of the ancient cities. An excursion to one or more of these sites should be on everyone's itinerary - there's no other place on earth like them.
With the average temperature in the 80's and over 300 days of sunshine annually, the powdery white, coral sand beaches beckon sun worshippers. The turquoise waters invite every activity imaginable - swimming, windsurfing, parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving and sport fishing only start the list. Of course, don't forget Golf!
The Riviera Maya of Mexico is a wonderful piece of paradise under the tropical Caribbean sun and alongside the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by amazing white sand that never gets so hot it burns your feet. Running from Cancun south along the highway to Tulum, the Riviera Maya includes many secluded luxurious waterfront resorts and small fishing villages as well as cities like Playa del Carmen.
Playa del Carmen is located about half-way between the Cancun International Airport and the Mayan city of Tulum. Here, you will find ferry service to the island of Cozumel and you will be able to explore the famous 5th Avenue of Playa del Carmen with an array of international shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars.
Along the Riviera Maya, you will also find the exciting archaeological water parks of Xel-Ha, Xcaret and Tres Rios Beach offering wonderful but different experiences to guests. Do not miss Tulum, the only major city of the Maya located on the edge of the Caribbean Sea. Breathtaking views will be yours to enjoy. The ruins of Coba are also located nearby and offer a completely different experience.
Enjoy a refreshing swim in a cenote, dive at the largest coral reef in the northern hemisphere and become acquainted with the fascinating underwater world as you snorkel in the warm waters off Cozumel. Finally, explore the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'an.
Welcome to the Riviera Maya of Mexico, where you can do as little or as much as you would like!
Beyond the breathtaking waters and ribbons of white sand is a land steeped in rich history and ancient wonders. And at every turn, there is something exciting to discover and explore. From the majestic archeological site in San Gervasio to the rustic, vivid green church in El Cedral, Cozumel has many stories to share.
And their origins go back to 300 A.D. when the first Mayans settled on the island. Before there were vacation seekers, there were religious pilgrimages, as many women came to pay homage to the fertility goddess, Ixchel. Through every passing century, Cozumel became one of the most important sanctuaries in the Yucatan region. And the Mayan influence remains today. But that is just the beginning. Let us take you on a guided tour and uncover the magic of the ancient Maya. You’ll soon realize why this is like no other island in the world.
