A long the East coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, a few kilometers south of Cancun and in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean, is the Riviera Maya, a land with an abundance of flora and fauna, long stretches of solitary beaches and fascinating ecological parks and archeological sites for exploring.
The most beautiful beaches of the Mexican Caribbean, a unique and incredibly complex system of underground rivers with cenotes (sink holes), thousand of acres of exuberant tropical forest, and the second largest coral reef in the world are part of the Riviera Maya.
Additionally, it boasts two world famous eco-archeological sites which offer a great variety of activities and services within an infrastructure capable of safely receiving hundreds of tourists. Aventura Mexicana Hotel, Playa del Carmen Q. Roo. México
Not too long ago, the entire eastern flank of the Yucatan Peninsula was virgin beach, long stretches of white sand overlooked by nothing more ambitious than a coconut palm. Today progress has touched the Maya Riviera (or tourist corridor) as the 100 miles from Cancun to Tulum is now being called.
