Tour description

 

🌴 Playa del Carmen is a city to be enjoyed step by step, and this tour is the best way to discover its essence.

We will start on 5th Avenue, the most lively heart of the city, full of shops, restaurants, and spaces that always have something to offer. Very close by is the Plaza Fundadores, where the Parish of Our Lady of Carmen and the imposing Portal Maya will remind us of the greatness of the ancient civilization that left its mark on this land.

The route continues at Ah Cacao, a place where you will taste the drink of the gods and learn about the history and process of cacao, one of the most emblematic symbols of Mexico. Just a few steps away, we will see the facade of the Hotel Posada Sian Ka’an, which connects us with the Mayan traditions still present in the region.

We will continue to La Tarraya, the first bar on the beach, famous among locals for its relaxed atmosphere, music, and authenticity. Then we will visit the Frida Kahlo Riviera Maya Museum, a colorful and interactive space that pays tribute to the life and work of the most recognized Mexican artist in the world.

Our tour will also take us to Calle 8 Norte and we will end at the Government Palace, where colorful murals narrate the history and Mayan traditions of Playa del Carmen.

 Between culture, history, flavors, and fun, you will experience the essence of Playa del Carmen with all your senses.✨
