So get ready for adventure as you leave the white sands of the Mexican Caribbean, if just for a moment. I have a 4 must-see places in Riviera Maya that you need to visit if you are around.
–
- 1.Cenotes (sinkholes): These natural wells are fed by clear subterranean rivers. Each is perfect for spending the entire day in the sun and dipping in when you feel the heat. There are a number of them to choose from in the local area- but they have limited public access. With a tour guide your family can enjoy these tranquil natural sites and view plenty of wildlife along the way.
–
- 2.Xel-Ha: This natural eco-park gives us the opportunity to interact with and observe the underwater world and really learn about local sea life. This is one of the biggest eco-parks in the world, where people of all ages can enjoy different aquatic sports: snuba, snorkel, sea trekking and zip lining. If you get the ticket on their website, you can get a special rate that includes food and drinks at their restaurants and bars.
- 3.Bel Air Animal Park: This recently-opened zoo offers personal interaction with more than 86 different species. Visitors can enjoy workshops, tours on ecological paths and shows that will entertain the whole family.
–
- 4.Dolphin Discovery: Treat your family to an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and meet these captivating animals. One reason why this place is different from the others is that they have a significance ecological conscience; dolphins here are maintained in a well-replicated environment. If you are ready to dance and swim with and even kiss one of the smartest animals, this is an experience you can’t miss.
