Stories from the Mexican Caribbean Sea

My trip to the Cancun area in the Mexican state of Quitana Roo was short but quite memorable. I actually stayed in the town of Playa del Carmen, about one hour south of Cancun. The water there was just as clear, but less crowded and Vegas-like than it is in Cancun. During my brief time in this part of the Yucatan peninsula, which is often refered to as the Mayan Riviera, I managed to sunbathe poolside and swim at the beach right next to the hotel we were staying in. I also visited the ancient ruins od Tulum and Coba. I also took a ferry ride to the island of Cozumel, where I went snorkling near some local reefs. I also got to climb up the tallest pyramid in Coba, and got to go down a zip line and canoe over lake inhabited by crocodiles. all in all I had a wonderful adventure in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo...
