5 Things You Must Do on Your First Visit to the Riviera Maya

Millions of people have already been to the Riviera Maya… but you. Why have so many decided to spend their vacations in this destination? This coastal strip has the most paradisiacal places in the Mexican Caribbean, such as Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Akumal, and more destinations with white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise sea.

Deciding what to do when you visit a new place can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to a place as fascinating as the Riviera Maya. Don't worry, in this post you will find the must-do experiences for your first time in the Riviera Maya.

Have Fun at a Theme Park or Beach Club

Choose how you want to spend your day. If you're looking for outdoor activities and a lot of adrenaline, consider a theme park like Xcaret, Xenses, or Xplor. But if relaxing in a bathing suit is your thing, the Riviera Maya has the most beautiful and exclusive beach clubs, whether you are going with friends, family, or your significant other.

Swim in a Cenote

Among caverns and underground rivers with stalactite roofs, cenotes are the most enigmatic natural pools in the Riviera Maya. This adventure is ideal if you are passionate about the outdoors.

Visit an Archaeological Site

The Mayan culture has a strong presence in this destination, which still preserves the vestiges of impressive temples and ancient cities. There is more than one archaeological zone in the region, but on your first trip, you should definitely visit Tulum's archaeological site.

Taste the Local Cuisine

Since you'll experience new things on your trip, go ahead and try something you don't usually eat. Trying fresh seafood is a must! And to do so, try a ceviche or tikin xic fish. Cochinita tacos are a classic in the region, and if you're in the mood for a snack, try an esquite or marquesita from a street stall.
