Tearms and conditions
For hundreds of years, Mayas ruled the vast jungles of the Yucatan, and built magnificent, intricate stone cities.
Along the coastline of the Riviera Maya, rimmed with ivory white sand beaches edging the warm, turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the Maya erected temples like Tulum, or small outposts on the few outlying islands.
Inland, grandiose cities were built and temples still remain despite the voracious attempts of the jungle to swallow them up.
Cobá and Chichen Itzá are among the most exceptional Mayan ruins, all at a day trip from Playa del Carmen.
The Mayan Culture
The Yucatan Peninsula was the cradle of one of the most important pre-Columbian cultures, the Maya.
For over 3,000 years, the Maya reigned in the Peninsula.
The ancient cities of Coba, Chichen Itzá, and Tulum are witnesses to their outstanding architectural and engineering skills.
Mayas didn't vanish; millions live today according to their traditions, scattered over the south of Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
The once sleepy village of Playa del Carmen doubled its population twice over the last few years.
Visitors from around the world have been mesmerized by the alabaster white beaches, gentle surf, coral reefs and slow lifestyle of “Playa”.
Today, Playa del Carmen is a meeting point for artists, adventurers, and businessmen alike.
Its local community has become an amalgam of nationalities, languages, colors, and traditions.
One could say Playa del Carmen is creating its own lifestyle as a melting pot of cultures resulting in a cosmopolitan and multiracial community.
The same can be said about our tourism.
The mix of sun worshippers, archeological buffs, backpackers, and eco-adventurers from all over the world, makes Playa a unique and fascinating destination.
Tip1: The Riviera Maya and its more than 70 miles of sandy beaches facing the turquoise Mexican Caribbean offer unlimited opportunities for water activities. The Caribbean waters are warm year round.
