Playa del
Carmen, Mexico
|
The small town of Playa del Carmen is the center of the Mayan Riviera...
once a small sleepy fishing village, it has developed into a lively
and charming town offering much to do for its guests.

Playa, as it
is now affectionately known, is the perfect base from which to explore
the fascinating sites along the Cancun -Tulum Corridor of Quintana
Roo ( now called Mayan Riviera ). Playa del Carmen is blessed with
miles of unspoiled white sandy beaches and crystal-clear Caribbean
waters that's proving harder and harder to find. It's a place for
those in search of the real Caribbean. Experience Playa del Carmen
and the endless adventures Mundo Maya has to offer.
The strong Italian
(and German) influence has created a unique vagabond traveler ambiance.
Combine that with a relaxed Mexican-Caribbean feeling and a sprinkling
of American free-spirits and you've got Playa. It is a place to
enjoy marvelous beaches by day and a lively nightlife in the evening.
The mix of backpackers, archeological buffs and New Age sun worshippers
makes Playa very interesting and worth some time.

The unique beachside
village of Playa del Carmen has something to offer everyone. Beachlovers
can lounge on Playa del Carmen's white sand Caribbean shore all
day and take their pick of international restaurants and bars all
night. Adventurers can scuba dive beautiful reefs just off Playa
del Carmen's beach, fish for marlin, swim in cenote caverns, and
take bird-watching trips into unspoiled tropical jungle. Families
can enjoy their time together shopping or on the beach, and take
easy side trips to marvelous eco-parks like Xcaret or the famous
Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza and Tulum. Day trips to Cozumel Island
are simple because the Cozumel ferry leaves from Playa del Carmen's
central plaza.
