If you have a week for vacation and you want to spend it in an incredible paradise of sun, beach and Mexican culture, the Riviera Maya is your best option in Mexico.

Cancun

It has one of the best night life parties in Mexico.

Chichén Itzá

 

Chichén Itzá is the best preserved and most famous of the Mayan ruins in Mexico. It is considered one of the greatest Mayan-Toltec centers in the Yucatan Peninsula and is only 90 miles from Cancun, it is a popular day trip, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

This place is a must go if you are in the area, as is one of the treasures of the Mayan civilization.  Be sure to see the Great Pyramid, the Warriors Temple, the ball fields (for sports) and the astronomical observatory. You will enjoy it!

Playa del Carmen

 

Playa del Carmen, or just "Playa" it is at the center of the Riviera Maya and offers a more relaxed atmosphere, smaller boutique lodgings, nice bars by the ocean and a distinct European flavor. The ocean water is crystal blue and white sand, similar to Cancun.

If you are looking for a quite place, where to relax and lose stress, this is your best option!
