"The Streets of Playa del Carmen" Top 5 Page for this destination Caribbean and Central America Things to Do Tip by VeronicaG

After a 45 minute cruise from Cozumel, we arrived in Playa del Carmen where a bus awaited us. We were on our way to TULUM, a former Mayan religious center.

As we were led six blocks to our air-conditioned coach, we passed this enterprising shopkeeper..who wouldn't look twice at him?

The two lizards were perfectly comfortable resting upon his shoulders, while the bird seemed at home perched on his hand. I imagine he grabs the attention of most people who pass.

We weren't able to stop to browse, though, because our guide was attempting to herd us into the bus quickly. We had another 75 minute ride on the bus before we would arrive at the ruins.
