The Christmas holidays are that favorite time of the year so awaited by everyone. They give us that happiness and warmth by allowing us to share with our loved ones and letting us escape from the daily routine.

Many people choose to celebrate the holidays in a different way. They do it to escape from the cold weather of their hometowns or simply to get to know other locations. Either way, the Riviera Maya is the perfect destination for them to do both.

Every year more than 1 million people visit Cancun in December to surround themselves with the holiday spirit of the Caribbean. Its white sand beaches and crystal-clear water attract tourists who want to make their dream vacation a reality and celebrate Christmas on the beach. And, as if that weren't enough, this destination is full of culture from the ancient Mayan civilization. This makes it an even more attractive destination.

The Caribbean is synonymous with wide beaches with turquoise waters and white sand, and palm trees that shelter visitors while they enjoy a refreshing coconut whilst gazing out to sea. It's a dream vacation for many, eager to forget about months of lockdown.

But the Caribbean can offer you much more. Especially if the area you are visiting is the spectacular Riviera Maya. It is a destination that has a rich thousand-year-old culture in addition to its beauty and lush vegetation. This is probably one of the aspects that most differentiates the Mexican Caribbean from other destinations in the area.
