Hey Compitas!! Lately I’ve been reflecting on the fortune of being in a place like Tulum or the Mexican Caribbean. … It’s a corner of the world that arouses wonder and admiration for its waters, nature, culture, and people. There’s really a lot to say about it, but I would never finish telling you all… so today let me tell you a little bit about:
Location and Climate:
The Mexican Caribbean, also known as the Riviera Maya, is a destination that captivates travelers from around the world. Its location in Quintana Roo almost guarantees an eternal summer: sunny days, crystal-clear waters, and a warm breeze. In places like Tulum, Cozumel, and Playa del Carmen, nature always unfolds in all its splendor.
Cenotes “The Portals to the Underworld”:
Cenotes, the natural wells of intense blue or green color, are the crown jewels of the Yucatan Peninsula. These magical places, considered gateways to the underworld according to Mayan belief, offer an unparalleled cenote diving experience. Some are semi-open, others are in caverns or are ancient. Quintana Roo is home to more than 2,500 cenotes and 407 flooded cave systems, making cenotes diving a must-do activity. Imagine scuba diving cenotes, where you’re connected by the Sac Actun System, the world’s longest underground river
Open Water Diving:
The open waters of the Mexican Caribbean are a diver’s paradise, extending beyond the coast where nature unfolds in all its glory, allowing you to immerse yourself in crystal-clear waters surrounded by a deep blue that seems endless. The coral reefs, almost throughout the Riviera Maya, create an underwater world full of life and color, greeting you with tropical fish as you explore this aquatic paradise. It’s like diving into a giant aquarium, surrounded by marine wonders.
Dreamy Beaches:
The beaches of Tulum, Cozumel, and Playa del Carmen are a dream come true. White sand, turquoise waters, and a sense of infinite peace. Playa Paraíso, Paamul, Caleta Tankah, and Punta Allen are just some of the jewels that can be visited along the coast. For those looking for cenote near me, these beaches offer proximity to some of the most beautiful cenotes, or why not, you can do some open water diving too.
So, Compita, if you ever need an escape, you know where to find me. Whether it’s cenote scuba or exploring the vibrant streets, the order doesn’t matter; you’ll always be welcome in the Caribbean, where life is tastier and plongée cenote Mexique awaits!
