Playa del Carmen has a wide variety of attractions that you need to visit during your stay.On this occasion, from Caribbean Beach Properties we share some of them with you. Enjoy the trip!
Kite Surfing and Paddle Boarding
An activity that’s hugely popular all along the white, sandy beaches of Playa del Carmen. Anyone familiar with this beautiful town will tell you that the coast is always full of kite surfers and paddle boarders. Make the most of your holiday by getting some exercise and picking up a new and impressive hobby to brag about back home. Several companies offer kite surfing and paddle boarding classes (or rental for those already familiar with the sport), but remember to check for qualified instructors before signing up for any extreme sport.
Parque Fundadores
Coming back to Playa del Carmen itself, visit Parque Fundadores for a relaxed afternoon out and enjoy the Voladores de Papantla. An ancient ritual still performed today, it involves dance, song, and the climbing of a pole. Four of the five at the top then attach themselves to the pole with rope around their waists before launching themselves off backwards, to elegantly spin towards the ground. The fifth remains atop the pole playing the flute. Parque Fundadores is the perfect place to enjoy an ice cream and watch the ritual take place, located right next to the beach. Don’t forget to donate a few pesos to the park after the performance is over.
Cenotes
Those preferring snorkelling options should try out the crystal clear waters of the aptly named Cenote Cristalino, which also has a rock overhang from which brave souls can jump into the waters below. Divers may want to check out Cenote Angelita which has a depth of 200 feet, made up of both salt and fresh water for a strange and mystical experience. The tourist favorite is the Gran Cenote just outside Tulum, which has viewing platforms and sometimes shallower waters.
