Xel-ha - Playa del Carmen

Xel-ha

The beauty of the nature Chichén Itzà Review

Along the Riviera Maya the are some places where you can find the beauty of the nature with fun. Xcaret was built as a fun fair with an ecological and historical background. Xel-ha is a natural lagoon fitted out for to take the tourists. Here you can snorkel, sunbathe, swim with dolphins and go through the jungle to visit some 'cenotes'. If you want to live an adventure go to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. This area is a wild pure place more than 5000 kmq wide and in 1987 was declared human heritage. You can go through the jungle in a jeep along dirt roads. Sian Ka-an means 'where the sky begin' and here there are many Mayan ruines not restored, a thousand of butterflyes and many animal species. If you are lucky you could meet a jaguar!! Unfortunately I didn't visit it, maybe the next time... I've been just in Xel-hà.
If you want know more about Xel-hà, please go to my travelogues.

Playa del Carmen - Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen 5th Avenue Review

In Playa you can walk down the 'Quinta Avenida' . This street is a succession of shops, bars and restaurants. You'll can enjoy the cheerfulness and the colours of Playa. You can go shopping, sit down at a bar and drink a beer listening to the music, take a snack at an itinerant stall or simply walking while the sellers call you 'Hey amigo! Mira!'.
You can also make friends with the local fauna!!

From Playa del Carmen you can go to visite many beautiful places. If you like the ancient pre-hispanic civilizations go to visit the sites of Tulum, Chichén Itzà and Cobà. You'll seem to make a jump in the past. If you want know more about Chichén Itzà and Tulum, please go to visit my pages.
