Riviera Maya

On the East coast of the Yucatán, south of Cancún, Riviera Maya is a dream location for white sand beaches. Its warm waters and coral reef make this an ideal location for diving and snorkeling.

Many archaeological sites also reside along the Riviera Maya, including Tulum, Coba and the other-worldly Chichén Itza. These three most famous Mayan sites are splendid remains of a culture rich in astronomy mathematics and spirituality.
