The Best Playa del Carmen Excursions

If you are visiting Mexico, you simply must go on one of the Playa del Carmen excursions.  Mexico is a wonderful place to visit, and is very big country, so deciding where exactly to go can be a challenge.  From the border with the USA at Tijuana to the Baja California to the wilds of Chihuahua and Mexico City itself, Mexico is a fantastic country for exploring.   The Cancun peninsula is rich in wildlife and opportunities for adventure, while offering luxurious hotels and stunning scenery. When planning your trip to Mexico, make sure you factor in at least one of the many Playa del Carmen excursions available.  Situated on the Yucatan peninsula, Playa del Carmen is already a favourite destination for many travellers, particularly Americans, looking for something a bit different.

The area has been sympathetically developed over the years, but this only serves to enhance the offering of Playa del Carmen excursions.    There are many tours on offer in the area.  Day tours to see whales or the jungle.  Go diving – you can rent top of the range camera equipment and enjoy the depths of the ocean.  Swim with whale sharks which are gentle creatures indigenous of the Cancun and are symbols of peace and tranquillity.  You may be lucky enough to see dolphins and turtles as well.  There is nothing like swimming along and a shadow passing over you, looking up and seeing a turtle above you…it is awesome and gets the blood racing.

All Playa del Carmen excursions are well planned and organised and are accompanied by qualified guides.  You will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the venue of your chosen adventure activity.  The excursions are all environmentally friendly and have the highest environmental credentials.  Even the sun tan lotion and insect repellents you use will be biodegradable in the interests of the environment.  One famous quote is “Take only memories, leave only footprints” (Chief Seattle).  Your Mexican adventure can be undertaken without disrupting the lives of the gentle whale sharks or other sea life or the inhabitants of the jungle.

Your journey into the jungle on your Playa del Carmen excursion into the Eco Park and enjoy the superb scenery of the Cenotes which have been handed down through generations.  The ancient Mayan culture is mystical and intriguing for the uninitiated.  On your trip, you can enjoy flying birds of prey, biking, zip lining and swimming.   The areas of the Eco Park and Cenotes have been unspoiled for generations.  Your Playa del Carmen excursion will treat the environment sympathetically while allowing you to enjoy your watery or jungle adventure in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.   Make sure you put aside enough time for sight seeing and exploring the many Mayan ruins.  Read up on the history.  It is fascinating to know how this ancient culture survived in such a remote part of our planet.   Go wild in your adventures and take time to reflect on the atmosphere and superb scenery.
