Honeymoons aren't just for newlyweds. Many couples choose romantic vacations as a second honeymoon...
For a few days in February, the streets of the most emblematic cities in the Mexican Caribbean are filled with people, music, and colors. The Carnival is one of Mexico's most celebrated traditions, and beach destinations are also included. In this post, we'll tell you everything you must know about the Carnival.
What Can I Expect at Carnival?
The Carnival has roots in religion and, by tradition, is celebrated starting the Thursday before Lent. In Mexico, the Carnival begins on different dates each year, usually in early or late February. The duration is six consecutive days.
The Carnival party starts with the coronation of the king and queen of the Carnival. Then, you'll witness parades with parade floats and troupes of all ages wearing quirky and colorful costumes. There are also usually free concerts, guest artists on the parade floats, and lots of gifts.
The Carnival concludes with the burning of the character "Juan Carnaval", who represents the Carnival itself.
Partying at The Best of The Riviera Maya
Experiencing the Carnival days in Playa del Carmen and Tulum is an experience you should not miss. You'll feel the good vibe of its community while having fun like never before, just a few steps from the stunning Caribbean Sea.
If you want an extra adventure, take a ferry at the pier in Playa del Carmen and cross to Cozumel Island. You'll be less than an hour from Playa to the Riviera Maya's most long-lasting and iconic Carnival, with more than 150 years of tradition.
