Travellers looking for bright sunshine on picturesque white sandy beaches and lush forests should definitely consider visiting the resort district of Riviera Maya in Mexico. Of course, the ruins of the ancient Mayan culture and the warm appeal of Latin American hospitality remain the major draws. Being one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, Riviera Maya is full of resorts and boutique hotels suited for different budgets.
Enjoy numerous aquatic activities on its coastal waters as you explore the Belize Barrier Reef – the second longest barrier reef system in the world. Explore the ancient ruins of Muyil, an archaeological site located deep in the forest. Also, visit the ancient walled Mayan city of Tulum, the Spanish colonial-era towns, and the temples and pyramids of Chichen Itza.
Enjoy cool dips in cenotes, swim along with dolphins, and go on guided jungle tours – exotic is perhaps the right word to describe Riviera Maya!
