Exploring Quintana Roo on a South Mexico Trip

Are you thinking about exploring south of Mexico? Why don’t you visit Quintana Roo! Filled with abundant-wildlife jungles and beautiful coral reefs, mysterious underwater cave systems and sugar-sand Caribbean beaches, Quintana Roo makes a perfect spot in South Mexico worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. 

                          

With spectacular sightings, Quintana Roo finds itself caught between preserving the valuable natural resources and managing the development boom that doesn’t seem to slow down. The destination balances itself with environmental and cultural consequences and tourism is the driving force of the economy. 

Quintana Roo has over 400 kilometer long white sand beaches hugging the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Now you must be aware of why so many tourists flock to the Yucatan Peninsula every year. Quintana Roo offers some of the best snorkeling and diving opportunities along with intriguing Mayan culture and laid-back islands where people get around on golf carts. 

                            

From ultra-luxurious Cancun to the eco-chic Riviera Maya and all way down to the less crowd Southern Caribbean Coast, this beautiful corner of Mexico is specifically made for vacationing. You will get an opportunity to experience the ancient wonders of Mayan ruins and hop between the island and idyllic beaches off the Caribbean coast located on the eastern edge of Mexico. 

Breathtakingly framed by beaches along the Caribbean Coast and forest reserves through its interior, Quintana Roo is one of the exciting destinations you should consider visiting during your vacation getaway. You will indulge yourself in the waterfront resort of Cancun, relax beneath the tropical paradise sunshine on the offshore islands, discover ecological theme parks and interact with revelers in the bars and clubs after nightfall. 

                                    

Get ready to enjoy a  tailor-made vacation experience in the luxury resort area of Cancun and a playground of 14 miles – around 23 kilometers stretch white-sand beaches. You can visit the eclectic resort town and the heart of the Riviera Maya – Playa del Carmen. Enjoy wandering along the pedestrianized promenade, aligned with bars, clubs, restaurants and shopping destinations. 

Take a ferry ride or a yacht charter to Cozumel or Isla Mujeres and experience the island lifestyle on the Mexican Caribbean coast. However, Isla Mujeres is a beautiful laid-back resort island and is a well-known sanctuary for the Ixchel – the Mayan goddess. 

You can take sightseeing cruises or scuba-diving charters and swim through the coral reefs brimming with marine species or dive into the mysterious cenote depths and the cavernous sinkholes present around the Yucatan Peninsula. Enjoy venturing into the jungle area on foot or a jeep safari from Tulum or Coba to explore the magnificent Mayan ruins. 

                           

Quintana Roo is a striking coastal state that stretches along the northeast of the Yucatan Peninsula based in the southeastern Mexico. You can access so many sights through major airports in Cancun and Cozumel or through road from Yucatan. Most areas of the state are accessible through comprehensive bus networks and taxis. You can stay in the upscale resort areas or the hidden getaways located just a few hours’ drive from the most urban areas. You can visit during spring for Carnival celebrations or in November for the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival.
