ADVENTURE & NATURE PARK

The incredible situation of Playa del Carmen allows for travelers to have their fair share of fun embarking on daring explorations, zip-lining, ATV'ing, swimming in natural cenotes, and so much more.

FRESH FRUIT AND PRODUCE

The fruit and produce that you can get are very different from that in your home country. The Caribbean sun gives each bite a distinct and delicious flavor. You can receive locally picked and grown fruit and produce such as papaya, tomatoes, dragon fruit, and avocados.

CEVICHE

Straight from the Caribbean Sea, an array of fish marinated in citrus juices and mixed with chile, onion, cilantro, and other ingredients. Depending on the chef, different people's ceviche is never the same and more delicious each time.

POZOLE

Compared to a soup or stew, but Mexican style. Meat or seafood, beans, veggies, and rice in a thick broth garnished with lettuce.

TACOS

Of course, you cannot miss out on authentic Mexican Tacos found in both restaurants and street carts. If you don't know what to get, you can always ask the sellers, and they will give you chef specials.
