The capital of the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, evolved from a small village of Mayan pilgrims to a lively,
cosmopolitan city with the highest urban growth in the country. Playa is located just 38 miles south of
Cancun.
Its natural features, beauty and long beaches, its enviable geographical location and its blend of the sea and jungle
make this destination on the Mexican Caribbean a magnet for both Mexicans and visitors from all over the world.
Playa is a fabulous place to spend your vacation. The average yearly temperature is 82° F. The warm, turquoise
Caribbean water is crystal clear and provides incredible access to a variety of water sports including world
class scuba diving, cave diving, fishing and snorkeling. If being in the water is not your thing, the white sand
beaches, natural wonders and Mayan ruins will provide plenty of entertainment.
The town of playa has grown along the beach, so wherever you go, you will feel the closeness of the ocean.
Take a short walk down to the famous Quinta Avenida, or 5th Avenue, and enjoy a wide variety of shops to browse
and buy regional handicrafts, silver, clothing, hammocks, leather goods, pottery and many other unique treasures.
This area is also where you will find most hotels, restaurants and bars. Quinta Avenida, 5th Avenue, is a pedestrian
walkway and closed to traffic, so you can thoroughly enjoy romantic dining and an exciting nightlife without the
hassle of traffic. Variety and diversity make Playa del Carmen an ultimate vacation destination.
Playa del Carmen is the closest ferry point for visits to Cozumel Island, which is just a 20 minute ride to the
second biggest barrier reef in the world and a scuba diving paradise. Also nearby, visit one of the many Mayan
ruins such as Tulum
or Chichen-Itza.
Spend a day at Xcaret , a jungle theme park, offering a zoo, swimming with
dolphins and numerous shows.
Whatever entices you, Playa is sure to offer you a relaxing and memorable vacation!
