Playa del Carmen is located on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico along the sparkling shores of Riviera Maya, which runs south from Cancún down to Tulum. Over the past 30 years Playa del Carmen (or “Playa”) has transformed from a small fishing village into one of the most popular vacation destinations in Mexico and the world. Despite its rapid growth Playa has still retained its charm as a fishing village and trendy artist community.
With miles of soft, white sandy beaches and warm turquoise waters, Playa de Carmen is a must see destination for any traveler. Playa is centered around the Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), a bohemian pedestrian boulevard with a large variety of designer boutique shops, world class restaurants and night life. Just off shore is one of the largest barrier reefs in the word. The adventurous traveler might partake in scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, whale sharks and turtles; ATV tours through the jungle; zip lines or hiking through underground caves. The Mayan archaeological sites of Tulum and Chichen Iza offer a look into the life and culture of the ancient Maya and their incredible architectural ability.
