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.
