The 100-mile coastline on the Yucatan Peninsula has several things to offer you – hiking, adrenaline-jumping activities, visiting ancient ruins, and a whole lot more! Whatever it is you’re looking for, you’ll always find something enjoyable to do at sunny Riviera Maya. Here are some of the awesome things you should do:
Visit Chichen Itza
Listed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites, Chichen Itza is one of the most visited places in Riviera Maya, maybe even in the whole country! Be fascinated with the 1200-year old Mayan ruin complex. You may choose to stay in an all-inclusive hotel to fully experience this beautiful ancient treasure.
Relax in Tulum
Another sought after destination, Tulum boasts a 7-mile long coastline where you can lay back and sip your pina colada. You can revitalize your energy doing yoga at Sanara Hotel, where they offer yoga classes every day in a glass-walled yoga studio with a relaxing view of the beach. Visit also another ancient Mayan ruins located in Tulum, which could include a swim with the turtles.
Swim in the Cenotes
Another worthwhile activity to do in Riviera Maya is to swim in the Cenotes. Cenotes are beautiful and natural sinkholes and cave pools that formed due to a collapse of bedrocks and therefore brought fresh water to the surface. There are lifeforms underneath cenotes, and you will have to bring a snorkel to watch them. The water is cold and refreshing since the sun does not hit the water, perfect for a cooldown dip!

These are only a few of the places and activities you can do in the tropical paradise of Riviera Maya. I’m sure there are a hundred more places you can discover and experience. Let us help you have a hassle-free vacation to Riviera Maya! Contact us for bookings and other inquiries.
