Practically impenetrable, the Riviera Maya is home to a wealth of flora and fauna, and the jungle also conceals some geological formations found nowhere else in the world: the Cenotes, freshwater pools of different sizes and capricious shapes, created by subterranean rivers that have come up to the surface after millions of years underground. The world¿s second largest coral reef is also located off the coast of the Riviera Maya, making the area perfect for diving. Hundreds of marine fauna species can be found here, including multi-coloured tropical fish, sponges, starfish and the different types of coral that make up the fragile, spectacular Maya Reef.

Different cultures coexist in this extraordinary place, enjoying the beauty of a unique Mexican Caribbean region. It is also a important tourist resort and has grown spectacularly over the last few years. The famous tourist corridor runs from Puerto Morelos, 35 km from Cancun, to Carrillo Puerto in the heart of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve.

To the east of the Yucatán Peninsula, south of Cancun and in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean, is the Riviera Maya, a land rich in flora and fauna and with fascinating, solitary beaches stretching for miles and ecological and archaeological parks waiting to be explored.
