Or dare to venture miles away from civilization to enter the mysterious remains of one of the largest Mayan cities ever discovered at Coba Ruins. And what shudder-bugs
trip to the Yucatan Peninsula would be complete without a photo of the pyramids at Chichen Itza? The coast - Mayan Riviera. Our magnificent stretch of Caribbean coastline Riviera Maya holds many pleasant surprises for the first time visitor - Mayan ruins, cenotes and wild jungle. First off, we have the enchanting cenotes, a world unique phenomenon and a natural mindblower. A cenote is basically a cave or a window into an underground cave system, filled with the most unbelievably clear water. Diving, snorkeling and swimming among stalactites and stalagmites is an intense, almost religious experience and it should not be missed! Another fascinating feature on the Mayan Riviera is of course the Mayan culture. Some of the most famous and astonishing examples of Mayan architecture and ingenuity are found next door to Playa del Carmen; Tulum, Coba, Chichen Itza and Ek Balam. The Mayan world There is plenty of evidence of the Mayan civilization in Playa del Carmen and its surroundings. The Mayans left heritage in 5 states of Mexico, which are Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Chiapas, Campeche and Tabasco. And in 5 countries of the Latin America: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador. The Yucatan peninsula is literally full of Mayan ruins, big and small. There are even quite a few ruins in downtown Playa del Carmen. The Maya had a different name for Playa del Carmen - they called it Xaman-Ha, which means still waters. Superior proficiency The Maya culture was amazingly highly evolved, in many ways more than its contemporary Europe. They built monumental palaces, which they decorated with wall paintings and stone carvings. Between the cities an elaborate system of paved roads was built through the jungle. The Maya were the only ancient culture in Mesoamerica had a developed written hieroglyphic language, and they produced books and scrolls. Mayan art was elaborate and colorful. They also charted the stars and were skilled engineers and mathematicians. A lost civilization The organized Maya civilization broke down before the Spaniards ever came to the New World. Most of the big cities had been abandoned before 1200 AD. Many has theorized about the cause of the decline, but most agree that there were probably a number of reasons, such as social uproar, warfare, bad harvests and overpopulation. The highly structured social order may have collapsed long before the Conquest, but the Mayan people were still here. In fact a few cities were still inhabited when the Conquistadors arrived, for example Tulum, only an hour from Playa del Carmen. The Maya put up a fierce fight and it actually took the Spaniards 173 years to conquer Yucatan..
