Top 5 Places You Want To Visit On Your Quintana Roo Tour in Mexico

While many think of the Caribbean as a tropical paradise of beachside cocktails and palm trees, Mexican state Quintana Roo on the Yucatan Peninsula also has its share of sensational shorelines, Mayan temples, and wildlife. Here are some of the top places you want to visit on your Quintana Roo tour in Mexico:

Tulum:

Tulum has long been a hotspot for young professionals and Spring Breakers, but today many families with kids are flocking to this small town. It is known as an eco-friendly destination and holistic practitioners often hold yoga retreats and wellness trips there.

Isla Mujeres:

Isla Mujeres is a 20-minute ferry ride from Cancún. At just four miles long, this island is small enough to enjoy a small-town vibe but big enough to have plenty of activities. This destination is ideal for travelers who want to escape the resort scene and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Cozumel:

Cozumel is a popular tourist destination in Quintana Roo, boasting the highest number of annual visitors of any other place in the region. From January to August 2021, Cozumel Airport reported 121,716 visitors, with many coming for scuba diving and the chance to see hammerheads and whale sharks.

Chetumal:

Chetumal is the capital of Quintana Roo and an important port for trade between Mexico and Belize. It has a reputation as the “place of redwood” because of the city’s traditional wooden buildings, and it’s a good place to visit for those who want to learn more about Quintana Roo. Although there aren't any full beach getaways in Chetumal, you can still find interesting museums and parks to visit.

Playa del Carmen:

Playa del Carmen is a popular tourist destination in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The town has a large expat community, as well as many digital nomads. The lower cost of living and beautiful beaches are what first attracted most people to relocate here. The weather remains mild year-round, with warm temperatures during the day and cool nights. There are many things to do in Playa del Carmen: visiting Mayan ruins, exploring cenotes (sinkholes), snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, horseback riding on the beach or at nearby estuaries, visiting historic forts and temples, taking cooking classes and more! Playa del Carmen is only an hour away from Tulum so you can combine the two locations into one trip if desired.
