HISTORICAL BEACH BUMS CLIFFS OVERLOOKING A BEACH ON MAYAN TEMPLE GROUNDS IN TULUM
RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO
Summer is the perfect time to save on your honeymoon with low season deals in Central America, starting with the Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. You’ll fly into Cancun but bypass it in favor of Playa del Carmen, the heart of the Riviera Maya about one hour south. Enjoy the turquoise waters and white sands by day and fine dining and entertainment by night. If you’re feeling adventurous, explore the nearby cenotes, giant limestone sinkholes once thought to be sacred by the Maya – or better yet – dive them. If you don’t know how, it’s easy to get certified with the many dive shops in the area. Take a short ferry ride to Cozumel, a treasure trove of pristine reefs and a mecca for underwater enthusiasts. Further south, relax the day away with your honey in a hammock on the stunning secluded beaches of Tulum, and spend some time exploring the area’s ancient Mayan ruins. www.rivieramaya.com
