Beautiful Beaches
It is no secret that Mexico has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Quintana Roo has almost all of them, more specifically Playa del Carmen. The fine white sand looks like something out of a movie.
There are days when the blue of the sea is so clear that it looks like something out of a fiction movie. Those who have visited Playa del Carmen will not let me lie, when you walk along the shore of the beach, letting the sea touch your legs and seeing Cozumel in the background, at that precise moment you think “This makes it all worth it”.
Best of all, it’s free!
Sure, there are parts of the beach that are rockier than others, but most of the beach in Playa del Carmen is perfect.

Growth
The city has had a 32% growth in the last 10 years. The exponential growth that Playa del Carmen has had is due to its main source of income, tourism.
The constant construction of hotels has generated the need for a greater number of people to operate them. Something important to consider is that the tourism sector has grown in the luxury tourism sector.
Growth is at an all-time high. The federal and state governments are building mega projects to improve infrastructure. One of the most relevant mega projects under construction is the Tren Maya (Mayan Train).
This ambitious project will attempt to connect all of southeastern Mexico, seeking to attract more tourism and reactivate the economy of rural areas.
Location
The location is privileged, for a reason it is considered the heart of the Riviera Maya.
The city is located 40 minutes from Cancun and 50 minutes from Tulum. This makes it the ideal place for tourists looking for lodging.

Within a radius of 40 kilometers, you can find parks such as Chikin-ha, X-plore, Dolphinus, Xoximilco, etc.
