Riviera Maya is a hundredokilometer coastal strip of the Caribbean, which stretches from Cancun to Tulum. An ideal place for outdoor activities and for those who are used to resting on the "All Included" system. We arrived with the intention not only to relax, but also look at the famous Maya ruins, so they stopped at a villa with breakfast in the resort town of Playa del Carmen. For those who wish not only to sow on the beach is an ideal place. From this city, it is convenient to get to the famous cities of Chechen Itsa and Tulum. It is also easier to order a tour of the lagunas boat with a race to the island of women. So the Isle Mucheres island sounds in translation. The excursion to Chechen-ICU is better to order through tourist sites, there you can find a Russian-speaking guide, and they have a good program. In Tulum we traveled on our own, by taxi. The excursion did not take. The entrance to the ruins of the fortress with various temples was cheap. The town himself is small, but a lot of cafes, where you can have a snack for 2-3 dollars. 2 days we rested in 2 parks, I want to tell about them.
This is the preserve Park Shel ha and Ecological Park Riviera-Mayvarket. Ticket we bought on the site, and one ticket for visiting both parks costs cheaper than to buy separately. We were worth 165 dollars per person. Their prices are constantly changing on the site. Maybe cheaper and more expensive. First I will tell about the second park. This is a park with costume shows, excursions, works on the system all inclusive. Our ticket included lunch buffet, one can of beer, as well as soft drinks and snacks during the day. Shows, several excursions, swimming in the underwater river, equipment for snorkeling and diving, wardrobes for clothing storage and places of recreation (lounge chairs). Visiting the caves with bats and caves with butterflies was free, but swimming with dolphins, like photos cost more money. Very beautiful place, very interesting. The kitchen is excellent. Dishes and Mexican cuisine and European. They have delicious desserts. Especially cocoa cooked by local recipes.
The next park according to the rules needed to visit within 7 days. We went every other day. The system is the same all inclusive. Breakfast, lunch is a buffet and drinks and snacks during the day, masks and floors for swimming in the lagoon. Descent on the cheesecakes on the river, Tarzanka, jumping from the rock in water, lockers and recreation sites. But to swim with dolphins, walk along the bottom of the lagoon in the scaffle, take photos and many more options for a fee. Unlike the gaga, there were no ideas here. But it was also interesting. Fatrops in the jungle, caves, exotic birds and fish. I liked it very much that in the parks are located on the beaches of showers and there is an opportunity to quickly change the wet towel to dry.
Both park are interesting. If the ware is the colorful presentation, excursions, then shell is a relaxing rest with water entertainment, Maja's winding paths in the jungle, caves and exotic fish.
