Playa del Carmen Tourism and Travel Guide

Photo by Rafal

A stroll on Caribbean shores or an afternoon of bird-watching is about as exciting as things get around Playa del Carmen—so don’t expect the glitz of other Mexican resorts. Instead, you’ll see that Playa combines the rustic charms of a small Mexican fishing village with the amenities of a much larger destination. In addition to snorkeling and other water sports, visitors can take a day trip to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulúm.
