 Cancn and the Riviera Maya

Cancn and the Riviera Maya

The resort destinations of Cancn, Playa del Carmen, the island of Cozumel, and beyond, are located along a beautiful stretch of Gulf of Mexico coastline. These are collectively known as the Riviera Maya.

This magnificent region on the eastern edge of the Yucatán Peninsula attracts approximately five million tourists annually, generating enormous revenue from tourism. Due to the Riviera's expansive beaches, endless crystal-clear water, and abundance of the best all-inclusive resorts, you won't feel like you're in a crowd despite these numbers.

Swimming with dolphins and stingrays, snorkelling among coral reefs and tropical fish, and scuba diving in the world's largest underwater museum, a spectacular collection of sculptures submerged to depths of up to eight metres, are among the many enjoyable activities available in the region.

Tulum

Tulum

Tulum attracts history buffs and water enthusiasts due to its renowned Mayan ruins by the water. Along a stretch of the Riviera Maya's coastline, the region offers a variety of lodging options, from small boutique hotels to wellness retreats to all-inclusive resorts. Thus, every traveller is able to book the vacation that best suits them. You can spend your time on the Yucatán Peninsula lounging on the beach, exploring ancient ruins, and swimming in secluded cenotes, which are unique underwater caves.

Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza is the largest Maya city on the Yucatan Peninsula and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico. El Castillo's temple-pyramid is the most well-known structure in Chichen Itza. The architecture of the temple has astronomical significance.

Each face of the pyramid features a staircase with 91 steps, which, when added to the shared step at the top, total 365, the number of days in a year. The Great Ballcourt and El Caracol, a circular temple that served as an astronomical observatory, are additional Chichen Itza attractions.

Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen, or simply Playa, is one of the enchantments of the entire Yucatán Peninsula. It is one of the most up-and-coming destinations, where you will find the hippest scene. Playa is the place to be if you're looking for lively bars or stylish cafés.

There are both timeshares and all-inclusive resorts available throughout the city. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Playa has been home to a large expat population, which has had a significant impact on the local culture and cuisine.

Bosque de Chapultepec

Bosque de Chapultepec

How would you feel about strolling through one of the world's oldest urban parks? Bosque de Chapultepec provides this by enveloping you in a dense forest while keeping you in the urban core of the city. This rivals Central Park in terms of beauty!

The green oasis of Mexico City encompasses Chapultepec Hill, a rock formation, and is subdivided into four sections comprised of vegetation and must-see locations. One of the largest urban parks in the Western Hemisphere, the so-called lungs of Mexico cover approximately 1,695 acres (686 ha). The location is divine, and it is home to some of Mexico City's most prominent tourist attractions.

Guanajuato

Guanajuato

If there is one region in Mexico that you simply cannot miss, it's this colourful marvel. Central Mexico's Guanajuato is renowned for its baroque and colonial architecture, not only by tourists but also by UNESCO, which has designated it a World Heritage Site. No matter what time of year you visit, there is a good chance that a festival will be rolling through the streets and throwing a party.

According to reports, Callejoneadas in Guanajuato are a "chef's kiss." This may be the best place in Mexico to witness Da de los Muertos celebrations, where locals gather in song and colour to honour the memory and lives of the departed.

Isla Cozumel

Isla Cozumel

If you are in Playa del Carmen and wish to escape the crowds, the island of Cozumel is just offshore. In addition to its international fame, the island is one of the best scuba diving locations in the entire western hemisphere. The island exudes a rare and natural beauty, exemplified by its crystal clear waters and abundant marine life.

Cozumel

Cozumel

This island is perhaps most well-known for its coral reefs and cruise ships. Travelers adore this location's crystal-clear water, tranquil beaches, and abundance of water sports. Many outfitters and resorts provide kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment.

While you could spend all of your time in the water or on the beach reading a good book, Cozumel is also a peaceful place to study Mayan culture. Visit the Mayan ruins at the archaeological site of San Gervasio for a dose of pre-Columbian history.

Palenque

Palenque

Palenque is an archaeological site located on the western edge of the Maya empire in the modern Mexican state of Chiapas. Palenque is much smaller than its neighbouring Mayan cities, but it contains some of the Maya's finest architecture and sculptures. The majority of Palenque's structures date to between 600 and 800 AD, including the Temple of Inscriptions, the only Mesoamerican pyramid constructed as a tomb.

Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is another of Mexico's increasingly popular beach destinations, located on the Pacific coast. Often abbreviated to "Vallarta," the city first appeared on the vacation radar in the 1960s as a playground for North America's social elite and has since become extremely popular among foreigners seeking second homes in a warmer, sunnier climate. Many of its regions remain untouched by modernization.

Today, due to the abundance of things to do in Puerto Vallarta, the city is just as likely to attract older cruise ship passengers looking to swim with dolphins as it is younger adventure-seeking tourists interested in paragliding and jet skiing.

For those who prefer slower-paced vacations, the city offers a number of places to shop for arts and crafts or simply stroll along pleasant beachside promenades with numerous green spaces and sculptures.

Copper Canyon is the Grand Canyon of Mexico

Copper Canyon is the Grand Canyon of Mexico.

Chihuahua, one of Mexico's northernmost states (it shares a border with New Mexico) is home to one of the country's most popular natural attractions, the breathtaking Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre).

Copper Canyon, located in the Sierra Madre Occidental and consisting of a spectacular collection of deep canyons, is larger and deeper than its more famous cousin, the Grand Canyon. Six rivers that converge in the Rio Fuerte before draining into the Gulf of California created these awe-inspiring geological formations, which derive their name from the distinctive copper green hue of the canyon walls.

Due to the region's increased popularity as a tourist destination, those who wish to explore this area of exceptional natural beauty have a variety of options available to them, ranging from scenic rail trips aboard the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacfico to more adventurous excursions by bike or even horseback.
