In the shadows of Cancun you can find a new place to enjoy the Mexican sand and sun in the form of Riviera Maya. This enchanting beach town is full of luxury resorts and gourmet restraunts. There is always plenty to do and see.
This area of Mexico was nothing more than a fishing town three decades ago but now it is one of the fastest growing tourists attractions in the area. This is very similar to Cancun which was mostly non-existant prior to 1974.
This area is not only full of luxury resorts and beautiful beach views but you can also travel to some of Mexico's oldest and most impressive ruins during your stay. Located on Riviera Maya is Talum, the only Mayan village ever created by the sea.
Just a little bit past the ruins you will find over 1.5 million acres of protected national park land. A visit to Sian Ka'an Biosphere means jungle walks and visits to unexcavated ruins. This enchanting piece of land is like visiting another world. This is where civilization ends as abruptly as it began in fascinating Riviera Maya.
