It's easy to understand why the area eyes shines when it comes to tourism. The beaches of white sand and blue water which in itself would be paradise, are backed up by a very generous nature, both the interior of the continent to the sea. The entire coast of the Riviera Maya is accompanied by Barrier Reef System Mesoamerican, the second largest in the world after the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, which makes her not only beautiful underwater world, as full of animal life. Moreover, the region is littered with cenotes and near several ruins of Mayan civilization.

Pela Carretera Federal 307, down the coast from Cancun. The first stop was the charming Playa del Carmen. The beach is full of bars on your surroundings and not difficult to find a lounge chair to enjoy a delicious diazinho beach. As no other Riviera Maya gives, prices are for gringo and somewhat salty in the busiest parts of the city. We are to find a coconut most expensive we found there, where a bar charged 90 weights (about R $ 15) by a single coquinho iced green.

Amid the alleys of downtown, there are some options for cheap hotels and restaurants. We find an Argentine who had a great food at a price most just, o The grill Manolo. Sleeping saving, send good ol 'chat of carretera ", to convince managers of a hotel on the roadside to let us sleep in our tents in the parking lot with Tanajura.

A spin by "Quinta Avenida" of Playa del Carmen is also delicious. As our trip is over rootz, we just walk in and a sorvetinho (that was expensive!). But for those who like, there are several designer shops and restaurants that looked very good. The nightlife in the region seemed quite busy and also was chic. After the mad revelers in Cancun, we prefer to let these pass.

We follow with Tanajura further south in a cozy stop in Akumal beach. Here's the deal dip! The sea is full of turtles and do not need to hire any tour package to dive and find the animals with their own gear. We spent an afternoon at the beach sexy, watching turtles and many fish we encountered at sea.

Ruins of Tulum

We camped in the area of ​​Fisherman's Beach, no Camping Santa Fe. The structure of hoteizinhos and campsites nearby was quite simple, but do not need much more to enjoy the place. Electrical energy is the basis of generators on the beach, then time or another light was not available or no water had been pumped into the water tank. But okay, the beauty and tranquility of the place compensates, and very!

We liked the place so much that one of the comings and goings of Cancun, escaped there for a few more days. The truth is that we could spend days and days enjoying the beaches of the Riviera Maya quietly, but the journey continues! There was still plenty to explore in the Yucatan Peninsula! We went to the North, back to Merida and the famous ruins of Chichén Itzá.

    Hello brave and curious travelers! I was watching this account of their experience with the beautiful beaches and was reminding me of a book I'm reading whose title is : ” The barefoot life” also Alan Pauls. He says we going to the beach , we always in search of the same thing: the brands of the world was before the hand of man decided to rewrite it. Do you agree with this idea? Good winds for you!!

      Oh, Heloisa! What an interesting perception, we never thought of it that way. Really, the beaches always renew and, at the same time, always preserve its pristine nature. Maybe it's really what attracts us so much =)
      Thank you for sharing this with us. Kisses!

  • I liked the Tana Christmas decoration. She dressed the character for the holidays! FAQ. The contrast of white sand with sea water blue and the blue sky give us the certainty that there is a supreme being behind all. There is no denying that! We are not only a product of the medium as some imagine. There is even a great purpose guiding our existence. Contemplating these beauties, is already a form of prayer! You guys are lucky boys. Enjoy!
