TOP 3 PLACES TO VISIT ON YOUR TRIP TO RIVIERA MAYA

TOP 3 PLACES TO VISIT ON YOUR TRIP TO RIVIERA MAYA


The Riviera Maya and Cancun are the number one destination in Mexico and one of the favorites worldwide. Many travelers choose these two mainly for their wonderful beaches and the warmth of their people. But what exactly do you visit when you travel to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Cancun?

Keep reading, we are going to tell you where to go when you travel to the Riviera Maya…..

1. Chichen - itza



Of course, we must start this list with one of the seven modern wonders of the world. Chichen is just about 2 hours away from Cancun and 3 hours from Playa del Carmen, and it is without a doubt a spot you can’t miss. BUT! It is really important for us to tell you, that you should book a private tour to Chichen-itza. Honestly, whether you travel as a couple or with the entire family, if you take public transportation or a tour, it will be longer, you will feel tired and you will not enjoy it at best.

With a private tour, you may choose to go to Valladolid ( a magical town) and where to eat. Actually, your guide will probably make recommendations based on your tastes.

2. Private Tours at Xcaret



We all know the famous Xcaret park: which obviously includes the most famous one that bears its name. This family place is beautiful, full of nature, great restaurants, underground rivers, and Mexican culture. But hey, he's not the only one.

The Xcaret parks are a must-stop, especially if you don't know where to go when you travel to Riviera Maya for the first time. or if you are looking for places to go on vacation with small (and not so small) children. Its opening hours are from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm for all daytime activities. After 6, everything closes so you can see their wonderful Mexican show at Xcaret. Many decide to stay and many others return from Xcaret to their hotel, so when buying Xcaret tickets it is important to consider the schedules for your private transportation to take you to your hotel.

What are the Xcaret parks?



Xelha- ideal to spend a relaxed day while your children have fun in the coves and you too. This park opens at 8 and closes at 6 pm and includes unlimited food and drinks. So to book this tour, you should consider what time you want to be taken to and from your hotel.

Xenses- Rediscover your senses at Xenses, the only park in Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya for half a day. Feel like a bird with the Bird Flight zipline, or ride the slide that leads into a cavern. Buy your tickets here and customize your transportation to Xenses.

Xplor- Whether day or night, the zip lines await you. We highly recommend you visit this park for a high-adrenaline adventure. If you are looking for activities in Cancun and Riviera Maya where you explore the jungle, the heights, and underground rivers. Buying your ticket for Xplor is, without a doubt, safe and fun for the whole family. Xcaret tours carousel

3. Archaeological zone of Tulum and Coba



Tulum is the most important Mayan city in the state of Quintana Roo and today it is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction in this area (although not the only one). This excursion is ideal for those who want to learn about history, do a bit of shopping and of course, eat something delicious. Of course, it is easier to do it when your private guide in Tulum gives you the best recommendations.

Cobá: Not as well known, but no less beautiful for that. Cobá is a small archaeological zone but it hides a great treasure: it is the only place where you can still climb one of the pyramids and the view is: IMPRESSIVE. Travel to it from your hotel, buying your private excursion to the ruins. Then ride through every street of this old community. You're going to love it.

Now you know where to go when you travel to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum. If you have more questions or ideas about new places, our recommendation will always be: BOOK YOUR PRIVATE AND PERSONALIZED EXCURSION.
