From the moment I land at the Cancun Airport, I am overcome with excitement here, in my first day in the Riviera Maya, a dream destination where the sun shines brightly and the turquoise waters seem like a magnet for the soul. Although I only have a few days to enjoy this paradise, so with a plan in mind will allow to make the most of it.

Landing at Cancun Airport

The first stop is Tulum. After organizing a private transportation that will take me quickly from the Cancun Airport to the hotel, I head towards the beach. The road is full of palm trees and the air smells of salt. Upon arrival, I sit in a hammock and order a specialty coffee at one of the beach clubs. Having a coffee with a view of the sea is the perfect start to my adventure. Accompanied by a fresh fruit smoothie, I begin to let myself be carried away by the beauty of the place. The sand is so soft that it feels like a massage for my feet.

After a while enjoying the sun, it is time to explore. I rent a bicycle and head to the Mayan ruins of Tulum. Walking among these ancient structures, feeling the history all around me, is indescribable. The views of the sea from the cliffs are simply spectacular; I can’t resist the temptation to take a lot of photos. The connection between Mayan culture and the Caribbean is so strong that I feel inspired.

Where did I dine?

I return to the village and head to Tantra, Tulum Beach Club, a charming restaurant launch with amazing ocean view where I can try an authentic ceviche. The freshness of the seafood and the local flavors make this lunch a delight. As I enjoy my meal, I think about how lucky I am to be here, surrounded by beauty and culture.

Later, it’s time to cool off in a cenote. I decide to go to Cenote Rancho Santa Cruz, one of the most famous in the area. With private transportation from Traveliere, the trip is fast and comfortable. Upon arrival, I am surprised by the clarity and mottled tones of the water surrounding the islet equipped with palapas and which is reached via a bridge from which you can jump straight into the water. It’s a magical place where I can swim and explore. I snorkel among the fish and enjoy the peace that this natural environment offers. It’s the ideal time to disconnect and relax, surrounded by nature.

Following an exciting afternoon, I return to the beach to watch the sunset. I find a quiet spot and sit on the sand. The orange and pink hues of the sky are a sight to behold. As I enjoy a refreshing drink, I reflect on the day. There’s nothing like being in the Caribbean, where every moment is a living postcard.

Closing my amazing day

The night is just beginning and I head to Playa del Carmen in the private transport I ordered on the Traveliere website. I’ve reserved a table at El Fogón, a place famous for its delicious tacos al pastor. The food here is authentic and the atmosphere vibrant. After enjoying a tasty dinner, I wander down Quinta Avenida. The energy of the area is contagious; live music and bright lights create a festive atmosphere.

Finally, I have some energy so I decide to go into one of the nearby clubs to dance to some good music, it’s the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. It’s time to go back, my star driver is waiting for me and knows where to take me.

Just then the alarm goes off, Ring-ring!… what an incredible dream! It’s time to wake up, I have to catch a flight to get to Cancun, today is my day in the Riviera Maya.
