Over eighty miles of stunning coastline in the state of Quintana Roo at the edge of the Yucatán Peninsula, the Riviera Maya extends from just south of bustling Cancún to Tulum, a coastal beauty and one of the most important archeological sites in the Mayan world. In addition to ancient ruins and pristine beaches, the region is blessed with a vast network of underground rivers and over 100 cenotes—crystal-clear freshwater holes for diving, swimming, and exploring. Hidden World’s Cenote Park offers a wide range of eco-friendly jungle adventures. Xel-Ha is an eco-archeological water park boasting the most spectacular natural aquarium in the world. Xcaret Eco Theme Park invites visitors to float down an underground river, zip-line through the jungle’s foliage, swim with the dolphins, and experience a Mayan purification ceremony. And Aktun Chen Park offers 988 acres of unspoiled rain forest. In Akumal, the waters of the remote Yal-Ku lagoon teem with colorful reef fish and graceful sea turtles. For avid divers and snorkelers, the Riviera Maya offers the largest coral reef in the Northern Hemisphere, just off the coast of Cozumel. For other kinds of diversions, Playa del Carmen’s 5th Avenue offers great shops and outdoor restaurants. Visit rivieramaya.com to learn more about the endless treasures of the Riviera Maya.
