Akumal, An Aquatic Paradise Of The Mexican Caribbean
A peaceful destination, the ideal paradise for those who practice water sports. Akumal is a beautiful bay that is only 37 kilometers from Playa del Carmen on the Mexican Caribbean.
The name means in the land of the Mayans or the location of turtles. And this is not a name chosen at random, but because it is the place chosen by these animals to breed each year. Thus, the chance to see adults, swim with them and appreciate the birth of their children is a good show for those who come to enjoy these beautiful beaches.
But of course, beyond their white beaches, clear waters and coral, Akumal offers a number of attractions for all tastes. Thus, you can visit the museum founded by the CEA (Centro Ecologico Akumal), whose goal is to educate, inform and, above all, to create environmental awareness for all visitors.
Meanwhile, amid all this natural beauty, a little history is present. This is because the shelters were inhabited by the Maya, and there is a temple on an island of rock in the creek Xaac.
Meanwhile, families can enjoy a good option by visiting the Parc Naturel Aktun Chen, which means “cave with cenote inside.” Well, this will requires traveling 4km south of the city. This 400-acre site offers visitors a variety of attractions in nature, without destroying the balance. Here, then, is a snake and the ability to see spider monkeys in the wild, but certainly the protagonist is the cenote park located in one of three galleries of the cave in it. An underground river of fresh water that hides secrets and mysteries.
But of course this is not the only one cenote in the area and those who want to venture into such natural wonders, can do so in a complex of caves that extend west of Highway 307 (between this population Cancun). Here, tourists can do all sorts of activities like swimming, diving with the ingredients that make these incredible formations.
But if the same claims to practice “open”, Akumal offers quiet places along the coast. It is quiet coves that offer the best conditions for swimming and sharing with the natural kind of place to see colorful fish in their natural habitat and enjoy the tranquility and peace that prevails in these places.
A paradise for lovers of the sea, marine life and water sports. Near Cancun, Mexico resort in the Caribbean and comfort that can provide Akumal.
