The Mayan Riviera is part of the Mexican Caribbean. It is on the Yucatan Peninsula which is at the extreme eastern side of Mexico facing the warm blue Caribbean sea. The base of the Yucatan Peninsular borders Belize and Guatemala.
On the Yucatan the Mayan Riviera runs from Cancun in the North to the Mayan site of Tulum in the South. The whole coast is a Caribbean paradise of white-sand beaches and warm seas.
Resorts along the coast vary from the bustling (Play Del Carmen) to the tranquil (Soliman and Tankah) to the simply unique (Tulum with its ancient Mayan ruins).
Historically this area was a vital commercial and religious center for the ancient Mayans, and there are lots of archaeological sites to explore, such as Tulum, Coba and Muyil. For hundreds of years, the area was hard to visit due to the poor roads. The area was developed as a tourist destination as an alternative to the mega-resort area of Cancun.
Most visitors to the Mayan Riviera will arrive at Cancun international airport. This is well served by daily flights from major cities in North America and Europe. Driving to your resort on the Mayan Riviera will take between 45 minutes and 2 hours. For more information see Mayan Riveria
