Riviera Maya

The region is also rich in archeological sites, featuring the remains of ancient Mayan towns like Tulum, Cobá, and Muyil. Riviera Maya is also home to more than 2,500 cenotes, semi-open limestone caves, or sinkholes believed to be the entryway into the Mayan underworld. Travelers can embark on a jungle tour to some of the more popular cenotes, where they can go swimming, snorkeling, or diving.
