5 days in Playa del Carmen Itinerary

The tourist hub of the popular Mayan Riviera, upscale Playa del Carmen remains the jewel of Mexico's Caribbean coastline.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Two Eyes Cenote and Scuba & Snorkeling. Do some cultural sightseeing at 3D Museum of Wonders and Arte en Playa. Change things up with these side-trips from Playa del Carmen: Tulum (Balam Art On Feathers & Cenotes Sac Actun) and Ecopark Kantun Chi (in Puerto Aventuras). There's much more to do: see Off-Road Tours, play a few rounds at IBEROSTAR PARAISO BEACH GOLF CLUB, indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, and explore the galleries of Ambarte.
