1. Uxmal is a stunning ancient city in the style of the mayan baroque. Pyramid of the Diviner, Monastery of the Nuns, Governor’s Palace, are still fascinating for visitors. There will be opportunity to also climb the great pyramid. This Maya city placed on the hills is the largest and most beautiful in the northern region of Campeche. The present name seems to derive from Oxmal, meaning “three times built”. This seems to refer to the site’s antiquity and the times it had to rebuild.

About Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen ist ein entspannter Strandort der Riviera Maya mit belebter Fußgängerallee, weißem Sand und nahen Cenoten, Riffen und Ruinen.

Die Quinta Avenida, die lange Fußgängerstraße der Stadt, verläuft parallel zum Strand und ist von Läden, Cafés, Restaurants und Bars gesäumt, die bis spät belebt bleiben. Die Strände sind breit und weiß, mit der Punta Esmeralda als Liebling der Einheimischen wegen ihrer flachen Lagune, und das Wasser ist einen Großteil des Jahres warm und klar.
