Forest, jungle, flora and fauna, archaeological sites, solitary beaches, and crystalline
turquoise sea that turns silver in the light of the moon, fantasy and the heat of the
tropics, the mystery of the ancient culture that lives in the Mayan people, are some
of the characteristics and qualities that have made the Riviera Maya into a destination
capable of competing with every other tourist sites in the Caribbean.

The Riviera Maya is located in Mexico, specifically in the state of Quintana Roo,
the youngest of the whole country since it became just that hierarchy in the year
1974. His area of 50 thousand 212 square kilometers, represents 2.6% of national
territory. Bordered to the north and east by the Caribbean Sea, south to the Central
American countries of Belize and Guatemala, and west with the states of Campeche
and Yucatan.

Geography: The land is flat, covered by tropical lowland and along its shores
the Caribbean Sea are made up of several kilometers of beaches of fine sand and
White, inlets, bays and mangrove swamps. Due to the limestone soil of the entire area,
There are not rivers of significance with the exception of Hondo, a navigable river on the border
with Belize, and the Azul, located on the border with Guatemala. The gaps are those of Coba, just north
of Tulum, of the Bacalar northwest of Chetumal, state capital, and the Chichancanab, between Santa Rosa and Polyuc. In the region abound cenotes (fresh water), where they settled near the ancient towns that incorporated the Mayan culture.
