You need to leave the Riviera Maya a ways behind to discover this corner of paradise.
My suggestion
Once you have finished enjoying the lagoon, rent a bike and head towards the Azul Cenote, which is a few kilometers away.

The crystal-clear turquoise lagoon of the Riviera Maya: a genuine paradise on earth
My suggestion
Go there!!! It's even accessible to those travelling on very limited budgets: some of the little hotels offer areas in their gardens where you can pitch your tent.
Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.
The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.
I guarantee that hopping on the El Chepe train will be a unique adventure in the north-west of Mexico. As the kilometres go by, incredible landscapes will pass before your eyes, don't miss the train!
