The Riviera Maya is a 72 mile stretch along the coast line located in the Yucatan Peninsula, S tate o f Quintana R oo, M exico. I t is l ocated 3 0 minutes s outh of Cancun’s International Airport and starts from Puerto Morelos all the way to Punta Allen, a small fishing village within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.

It’s the habitat for a rich variety of flora and fauna and geological formations that would be impossible to find anywhere else in the world lying h idden amid the intense green. Here are “the cenotes”, sweet-water deposits of capricious shapes and different sizes, produced by the subterranean rivers which emerged to the surface over the course of million of years.

Facing the Riviera Maya’s coast is the world’s second largest coral reef, making it the perfect place for scuba diving and snorkeling. Hundreds of marine species, including multi-colored tropical fish, sponges, starfish and various types of coral make up the spectacular and fragile Great Maya Reef. The most popular and large settlement in the Riviera Maya is Playa del Carmen, a cosmopolitan destination with an eclectic wealth, remarkable cuisine, charming hotels, exotic stores and renowned nightlife, most of which is on or around La Quinta Avenida (5th. Avenue), Playa’s very popular pedestrian promenade..
