The Riviera Maya is home to some of the most stunning beaches in all of Mexico, and consequently, it\u2019s one of the world\u2019s top destinations for scuba diving and snorkeling. With the expansive coral reef system, you\u2019re sure to catch sight of a variety of marine life, like tropical fish, manta rays, dolphins, and whale sharks. It\u2019s almost a hands-on aquarium you can explore whenever you want. And snorkeling is not limited to just the coral reef. You can also snorkel in one of the many cenotes (underwater sink holes), as well as cave dive in these unique underwater areas.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1294716003 size-full alignright\" style=\"border: 0px none; margin: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ideal-living.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/123079398-640x427-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-darkreader-inline-border-top=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-border-right=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-border-bottom=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-border-left=\"\" \/>Underwater exploration is only part of this incredible area. On land you can delve into the rich history, culture and traditions that blanket the Riviera Maya. You may want to participate in a temazcal\u2014a Mayan sweat lodge ceremony at a resort or spa in the area. Or, perhaps you\u2019re intrigued by this country\u2019s Mayan background. In Tulum City, you can get lost in the mystery that surrounds the Mayan Ruins. This archaeological zone is one of the most beautiful places in Riviera Maya. Within three walls stand 60 well preserved structures, on top of 39ft. tall cliffs. Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayans. Though it\u2019s relatively compact compared to other Mayan sites, it\u2019s a popular attraction because of its astounding views of the Caribbean, and its close proximity to the beach in Cancun.<\/p>\n<p>Riviera Maya holds an intrigue that will never get old.
