Top 5 highlights of Playa Del Carmen
In and around Playa Del Carmen
‘In and Around Playa del Carmen’ is a recurring theme related to the beautiful coastal city of Playa del Carmen in Mexico. We love to share the beauty of our surroundings with you.  🌿🌴🌞
Playa del Carmen, located on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, offers a delightful mix of natural beauty, history, and vibrant culture. Here are the top 5 highlights you should explore:
- Xaman-Há Ruins: These ancient Maya ruins date back to the 13th century and were a launchpad for pilgrimages to Cozumel. Hidden under thick foliage in the Playacar gated community, the Xaman-Há ruins offer a subtle charm. You’ll likely encounter more iguanas than visitors here.
- Cenotes: Dive into the secret underworld of turquoise pools and caverns. Cenotes, considered portals for communicating with the gods by the ancient Mayans, are now popular swimming holes. The trio of Cenotes Azul, Cristalino, and Eden are just a short drive away from Playa del Carmen. Enjoy crystal-clear water, snorkeling, and cliff jumps1.
- Cozumel Day Trip: Take a ferry ride to Cozumel, a picturesque island known for its beaches, coral reefs, and vibrant marine life. Explore the underwater wonders while snorkeling or diving. Cozumel is a paradise for water enthusiasts1.
- Beach Bliss: Playa del Carmen boasts beautiful beaches along the Caribbean Sea. Relax on the soft sands, soak up the sun, and enjoy the turquoise waters. La Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) runs parallel to the beach and offers shops, restaurants, and entertainment options1.
- Sunrise Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): Start your day by watching the sunrise from a paddleboard. Glide over calm waters, surrounded by the stunning coastal scenery. It’s a serene and unforgettable experience1.
Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, swimming in cenotes, or simply enjoying the beach, Playa del Carmen promises an unforgettable adventure! 🌴🌊🌞
