Visiting the Riviera Maya allows you to learn more about the Mayan civilization found in this and other regions of the world such as Guatemala, Belize and western Honduras. In the Riviera Maya we can find well-preserved and accessible historical remains in the states of Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Campeche and Chiapas. Thus, cultural excursions in Riviera Maya are a must for any self-respecting traveler. If you want to know how the ancient Maya lived, their customs and rituals, the following excursions are for you.
This is the million dollar question. In Riviera Maya there is so much to see that many people get overwhelmed when it comes to planning a trip. Chichen Itza, Tulum, Coba and Ek Balam are the main cultural sites to visit on any Riviera Maya excursion.
But these are not the only tourist attractions that attract the traveler’s attention. Riviera Maya enjoys an endless number of activities, starring its crystalline waters, nature and cenotes.
Undoubtedly, the best known Mayan city, a World Heritage Site since 1988 and part of one of the 7 wonders of the world. Chichén Itzá stands out above all. Its pyramid of Kukulcan where during the spring and summer equinoxes, and due to an effect created by the position of the sun, creates a shadow in the shape of a snake.
Another of the Mayan cities that are still preserved in the Riviera Maya are the ruins of Tulum. It is one of the most special and favorite areas for visitors, since the archaeological remains contrast with the turquoise blue of the Caribbean Sea. Undoubtedly, a spectacle for the senses.
Coba is another key excursion. Also located in the state of Quintana Roo, in Cobá we find the Nohoch Mul pyramid, one of the few that can still be climbed by visitors, besides being the highest pyramid in the area. With 120 steps and 42 meters high, this pyramid offers from its top privileged views of the jungle of Quintana Roo that deserve to be visited.
The ruins of Ek-Balam have a special essence that makes them unique. You can climb the main pyramid to appreciate the views from the top and experience the feeling that Mayan citizens had in the past every time they climbed it.
