Playa del Carmen is located in the heart of the Mayan Riviera and offers a convenient base of operations for many area attractions.
In Playa del Carmen you can scuba dive, snorkel, ski, sail, rent a boat or mo-ped, para-glide, hot-air balloon, horseback ride, and take your choice of several jungle and eco tours.
Playa’s Palancar Reef represents a “Holy Pilgrimage” to many of the world’s Wall diving enthusiasts.
Besides the ubiquitous native festivals and holidays, the larger resorts have theater and stage shows nightly.
Although no longer a small fishing village; you can still walk from one end of Playa to the other in less than half an hour (with time-out for a Dos XX along the way).
The laid-back “Bohemian” hippness has attracted large numbers of expatriot Americans and Europeans to settle here. “Playacar” has become a vibrant Avant-guard artists’ community.
Forsaking the pressures of more conventional occupations; these well-tanned newcomers operate small hotel and bungalow rentals, beachside bars, diving shops, and fishing charters, and indulge in a bit of e-commerce.
