Playa del Carmen
Cobá
Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen is a beach paradise found near Cancun, and proudly known as the Riviera Maya. A former idyllic fishing village with a Mayan name Xaman Ha, today has blossomed into a favorite Mexican holiday destination. In this little town, you will find no overpowering hotel towers, but the true Mayan characteristics and a relaxed way of life.
The town has been built around the main street or the famous Quinta Avenida, and all the places along the strand offer something new and special to the passersby. Here you will also find many hotels and a broad selection of restaurants.
Don't miss to experience the multicultured nightlife and relax on the long white beaches. During the day, large cruising boats offer their services, and you can explore this charming bay from the sea.
Even though Playa del Carmen has no special historical places of interest itself, it is an ideal starting point for excursions to Tulúm, Chichén Itzá and the island of Cozumel.
Cobá
In the northeast of the Yucatan peninsula, you can find an archeological site Cobá. Cobá was the largest Mayan settlement during the classical period and thus an important centre, of which only a fraction is excavated. Here you can visit one of the highest Mayan pyramids. The whole structure which includes housings, temples and a ball playground is some 80m away from the entrance. The Cobá site is opened daily from 07:00-18:00hrs.
