3 Good Reasons To Visit The Riviera Maya
Well worth a visit, the Riviera Maya may be one of the most lovely spots in all of Mexico. There is of course, the beautiful scenery of the land and sea areas but also amazing ruins of Mayan cities to delve into, and cenotes, reefs and jungle to navigate. Although there are many wonderful reasons to visit the Riviera Maya, there are some even more immediate reasons to visit today.
First of all, the summer months are the slow season in Mexico. Cancun is awash in visitors between November and March, so you shouldn't be surprised to meet your Aunt Ruthie there. From May to October the resorts are fairly slow, and since it's the off-season prices are lower! Plus, the beaches are not overcrowded and weather is still fabulous! In business to get your adrenaline pumping, all the adventure parks are open and ready to thrill. The scuba diving guides will still be around to take everyone on a tour of the cenotes and coral reefs. The food is wonderful all year long. And the Mayan ruins certainly aren't going anywhere.
The second reason to head to the Riviera Maya between May and October, the reason that sets the region apart from every other vacation spot in the Americas, is this: it is turtle nesting and hatching season. The Mayan Adventure and Turtle Conservation and Education Tour guides visitors to see the laying and hatching in a manner that is safe and unobtrusive to the turtles, but still allows visitors to get a perfect view of this very special event. Sea turtles are ancient gentle creatures, and watching them further their species is certainly an unforgettable experience.
Whale sharks are the third great reason to visit between July and September. A member of the shark family, whale sharks aren't actually whales in any sense of the word, but are actually the world's largest fish. They feed on plankton exclusively, and are extremely docile. There are just a few places on earth where it is possible to interact with Whale sharks, and the Riviera Maya is one of them.
Do you really need any more motivation for booking your time on the Yucatan Peninsula for the coming summer months? Cheaper accommodations, less crowded beaches and resorts, hatching turtle eggs and Whale shark season! Traveling to Mexico at any other time of year seems so much less enticing now, doesn't it?
