Playa del Carmen is an idyllic holiday
destination, blending surf, sun, relaxation, fun and culture
all into one convenient package. This makes it an incredibly
popular destination with people from all over the world.
Whether it’s ancient cultural
sites and ruins or the endless white beaches to stroll along,
there is a lot to see and do, making Playa del Carmen ideal
for the whole family.
A must-see is the colorful Quinta
avenida, Playa’s main avenue where you will come across
great restaurants and bars, stores and shops and many other
visitors from all sort of nationalities strolling along.
Playa’s sunny beaches have
pristine white sand, a feature that avoids it becoming hot
under the sun and thus, no problem for your feet. Participate
in some of the many water sports available or just lie on
the shore and let your cares melt away.
You’ll soon realize how friendly
and relaxed Playa’s locals are, and at the same time
experience a very interesting blend of cultures. The pace
here is even slower than in other parts of Mexico –
the main theme here really is RELAX!
These are some of Playa del Carmen’s
highlights, which really shouldn’t be missed: the
the Chichen-Itza Mayan Ruins, the Xcaret Eco-Archaeological
Park, and a daily ferry run to Cozumel Island are just some
of the things to see here, to give you a feel of the place
and its surroundings.
