Spotlight Destination BEYOND CANCUN, MEXICO'S RIVIERA MAYA Combining the tranquility of uncrowded beaches, a vast network of underground rivers, over 100 deep pools of clear, calm water, the action of eco-adventure sports, proximity to many of Mexico's most significant Mayan archeological sites and the varied activities of the eco-archeological parks, the Riviera Maya offers endless possibilities for exploration and relaxation. Beginning 18 miles south of the Cancun International Airport, the Riviera Maya beckons vacationers looking for a new vacation experience. This region was once an important commercial and religious center for the ancient Maya. Tulum, the Maya fortress perched on cliffs above the Caribbean Sea, is one of the most impressive ruins in Mexico. Further inland is Coba, sitting in almost 50 square miles of thick jungle. Eco parks such as Xcaret and Xel-Ha can also be found here. Guests here can go snorkeling, diving and swimming within the ecosystems in underground rivers, caves and fascinating bay areas where fresh water meets the salt waters of the sea. Two main highways run through the Riviera Maya; one parallels the coast to Tulum and then turns inland, the other runs from Tulum to Coba. Along the coastal highway, there are roads that turn towards the beach or into the jungle. Transportation between towns and beaches is easy -- buses run regularly from Cancun to Tulum, stopping at points of interest on the way. There are bus terminals in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and taxis and tours buses are plentiful. Hotels and resorts offer something for every lifestyle and budget. There are now over 22,000 hotel rooms in the area, primarily around the cozy beach town of Playa del Carmen, which has become one of Mexico's most attractive resort hubs. Though still relatively unknown in the United States, the Riviera Maya is a 75-mile stretch of beaches, bays and inlets on the edge of the Yucatan Peninsula south of Cancun. It is a destination whose time has come. |
