Playa del Carmen Hotels Information
Leaving Cancun you will see a difference in surroundings. There is little in sight except for the dense vegetation and assorted billboards. You can enjoy an array of attractions here ranging from deserted beaches to modern architectural complexes including hotels, marinas, sports facilities and gourmet restaurants. At the southern end you can visit the principal ecological reserve, Sian Kaan, known for its flora and fauna. In the Mayan Riviera you can experience everything from ecotourism, theme parks and extreme sports to tennis and golf tournaments, jungle tours on foot or horseback, a wide variety of water sports and the most amazing cultural and archaeological treasures of the Mayan world.
Riviera Maya, also known as the Mayan Riviera, is a tourism district following the coastal Highway 400 which parallels the Caribbean coastline of Quintana Roo, Mexico. This district historically started at the city of Playa del Carmen and ended at the village of Tulum, although the towns of Puerto Morelos situated to the north and between Playa del Carmen and Cancun as well as the town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto situated 40 kilometres (25 mi) to the south of Tulum are both currently being promoted as part of the Riviera Maya tourist corridor.A major attraction throughout the Riviera Maya are coastal and reef aquatic activities dependent on the coastal water and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (also known as the Belize Barrier Reef) which begins near Cancun and continues along the whole length of the Riviera Maya continuing southward to Guatemala. This barrier reef system is the second longest in the world.Activities at the most visited locations include Jet Skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming in cenotes, swimming with dolphins, zip-lining, horse riding, nude sailing, and guided jungle tours. Archeology is also a big tourist draw in the area, including the popular archeological sites operated by the Instituto Nacional de Archeological such as Tulum on the coast, and Chichen Itza and Coba located some distance inland. The self-named ecoparks of Xcaret, and Xel-Ha also include some smaller archeological ruins as part of their attractions, but these natural water theme parks operated by private business consortia attract much larger crowds due to the diversity and range of activities provided, such as swimming with captive dolphins.For 2012 Carnival week in Cancun is March 3 to March 8. Like every year on March 20/21 we have the Spring Equinox. This is a great opportunity to visit Cancun and nearby arqueological zones. Join other people and dress all in white to be part of this astronomical event.
