NatureSwim in Crystal-Clear Cenotes

EveningsPlaya del Carmen
Stroll Quinta Avenida for artisan boutiques, rooftop margaritas and beach clubs, where local charm meets a cosmopolitan vibe.
From our specialists
Make the Most of the Riviera Maya

Don’t forget
Take a catamaran to Isla Mujeres or Cozumel, with snorkeling stops over shimmering coral reefs. Try cochinita pibil, fresh ceviche and marquesitas from street vendors at sunset.
Visit the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of mangroves and lagoons, to kayak, birdwatch or spot dolphins and manatees.

Insider tips
For quieter beaches, head to Xpu-Ha or Paamul. For local life, visit Valladolid, a pastel colonial town with cenotes nearby.
November to April brings sunny days and calm seas. Pack biodegradable sunscreen: many cenotes and marine parks only allow reef-safe products.
