Located about 130 kilometers from Cancun in the Caribbean Sea, it is the most prosperous religious city ruins of the late 14th-century Maya culture. It is surrounded by stone walls up to 3.3 meters high. The buildings in the ancient city are all made of stone and carved with patterns. It is said that this is the best-preserved ancient city of the Maya and Toltec people in Mexico to date.
Punta Herrero
The last Eden of the Caribbean. This place was recommended by a Mexican friend, and even locals rarely visit it because it is still an undeveloped virgin land. There are no hotels, no bustling tourists, only simple kitchens with coal stoves, the sincere smiles of the locals, and delicious grilled fish.
Mahahual
Located just about a 5-hour drive from Cancun, this place is sparsely populated with tourists, making it perfect for enjoying as a private beach. Some restaurants by the sea allow you to set up tents and sleep for free. Waking up leisurely to the sound of the waves, having breakfast at the restaurant, and smelling the faint scent of the ocean is a very blissful experience.
Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen is a backyard for American and European tourists, located very close to Cancun. Several main pedestrian streets, QUINTA AVENIDA (Fifth Avenue), AVENIDA JUAREZ (Juarez Avenue), and CALLE CORAZON (Heart Street), are home to many unique restaurants, luxury stores, nightclubs, spas, and traditional craft shops.
Chetumal Bacalar
Less than an hour's drive from Chetumal, the capital of Quintana Roo, but a bit too far from Cancun. If you are traveling with a group of three to five people and happen to pass by Chetumal, you might consider stopping by Bacalar for a picnic and swimming.
