Riviera Maya Mexico Destinations
The major cities of the Mayan Riviera are:
* Cancun
* Playa del Carmen
* Tulum
* Akumal
Some lesser known but great vacation spots are:
* Puerto Aventuras
* Puerto Morelos
Along
the Mayan Riviera you will find at least four Eco Theme
Parks. In other countries, like the USA, parks like
these are usually provided and maintained by the State.
In Mexico, concessions are granted to commercial interests
to develope, maintain and profit (commercial) from these
enterprises. This does not make them any less attractive,
and provides much needed employment. The parks are located
in protected bays, usually with stone, rather than sand
under the water, this is not uncomfortable and makes
for very clear, blue water. These bays or inlets are
somewhat shallow, but flushed on a regular basis by
the tides, making for much cleaner water than you find
around resorts or municipal areas. You can rent snorkel
equipment, inner tubes, rafts and such. These parks
are excellent places to take a break from a day of exploring
or driving in this warmer climate. Fish are plentyful
and can be seen all around you. Avoid being in the middle
of a feeding frenzy when someone buys and throws fish
food into the water. Using cheese whiz, works well,
but brings in bigger fish, who may nip at the fingers,
so count that idea out.
