The Mayan Riviera also known as The Riviera Maya abounds with exciting things to do. These attractions are spread out over a vast expanse of jungle and coastal shoreline. Costs for attractions are on par with attraction costs in both the USA and Canada so you can expect to spend the same for a day's outing, as you would there.

Regardless of where you are staying on the Mayan Riviera you will have to travel to any attraction you wish to visit. You can either use the services of a tour company [you can book tours on-line here] or you can travel to the attractions on your own.

There are a number of great snorkeling locations along the Mayan Riviera. Xcaret, Xel-Ha and Ya Kul Lagoon all have snorkel equipment for you to rent so you do not have to bring your own. Also most of the cenotes have snorkel gear for you to use and some have diving as well.

Nobody knows for sure how many Mayan ruin sites are out there, but the Riviera Maya is home to many of the them, including Chichen Itza, Coba, and Tulum The majority of them are still under heavy brush and have yet to be excavated. However the Yucatan Peninsula is host to a number of spectacular sites and some are within driving range if you are staying anywhere along the Mayan Riviera. (/www.travelyucatan.com)
