10 Unique and Unusual Things to do in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Hello Ladies!

Playa del Carmen is a beautiful, coastal town in Mexico that offers visitors plenty of sun, sand, and sea.

But if you're looking for something a little more unique and unusual to do on your vacation, never fear! Here are 10 things to add to your Playa del Carmen bucket list.

1. Visit the Cenote Azul water park.

Cenote Azul is one of the many natural swimming holes or "cenotes" found in the Yucatan Peninsula. This particular cenote is unique because it has been turned into a water park complete with slides, a zip line, and even a trampoline!

2. Take a cooking class.

Mexican cuisine is delicious and relatively easy to make at home - why not learn from the experts? In a cooking class, you'll not only learn how to make some of your favorite dishes, but you'll also get to eat them afterwards!

3. Go on a eco-tour.

The Riviera Maya is home to plenty of wildlife, both in the water and on land. There are plenty of companies that offer eco-tours where you can learn about the local flora and fauna while also getting up close and personal with some of the animals.

4. Visit a Mayan ruin.

The Yucatan Peninsula is rich in Mayan history, and there are several ruins that are open to tourists. Chichen Itza is probably the most famous, but if you're looking for something a little less crowded try one of the smaller ruins like Coba or Tulum.

5. Go snorkeling or scuba diving.

The Great Maya Reef - the second largest coral reef in the world - runs along the coast of the Riviera Maya, so there are plenty of opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. If you're lucky, you might even see a turtle or two!

6. Take a walk down Fifth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue is the main pedestrian thoroughfare in Playa del Carmen, and it's full of shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also where most of the locals hang out, so it's a great place to people watch and soak up some of the local culture.

7. Learn to surf (or stand-up paddleboard).

The waves in Playa del Carmen are perfect for beginners who want to learn to surf or stand-up paddleboard. There are plenty of schools that offer lessons, so there's no excuse not to give it a try!

8. Go zip-lining through the jungle.

If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, head out into the jungle for some zip-lining fun! There are several companies that offer tours, so you can pick one that fits your comfort level (and budget).

9. Relax in a hammock on the beach (or at your hotel).

One of the best things about Playa del Carmen is that it's easy to find a quiet spot on the beach (or at your hotel) where you can relax in a hammock with a good book or just take a nap in the sun. Ahhh...paradise!
