Look at this dessert
It's a plantain with ice cream and it comes in a cart
Visiting the Riviera Maya is synonymous with days of fun
But as always when you are traveling you have to choose what to do
I visit this Mexico area recently and I discover some activities...
That you cannot miss if you are in Playa del Carmen
So join me in this new video
To discover the 10 things that I recommend you to do
When you visit Playa del Carmen
Numer one: Chichen Itza
The first thing you have to do is visit Chichen itza, specifically...
The Kukulkan temple that is one of the 7 wonders of the modern world
And it's close to Valladolid and Playa del Carmen
This is Chinchanchob, what it means? The color house
Number 2: Cenotes
Another recommendation is visiting the cenotes, there are a lot in Tulum
I love El Eden, Calavera and Car Wash cenote
If you have to choose, I would go to El Eden and Calavera
Because they are totally different
One is inside a cave and the other one is open and you are going to have fun
My recommendation is that you have fun the whole day in the cenote
Take advantage of the entrance ticket because they are expensive
Between 200 and 300 Pesos, take your food, water so you will spend less
But enjoy your day in one of the cenotes because you will...
Not find that anywhere in Mexico
Number 3: Diving
An activity that you can't miss here is diving if you decide to do it you can...
Do it in open waters in the sea
Or in a cenote that is sweet water
If you want to do it in a cenote you need to know that you need to have
An open water certification
If you want to do a recreational diving you can also do it
But in that case, that would be in the sea and in places like Playa del Carmen
That is a calm beach, there are not so many water flows in the sea
Like for example in Cozumel
They came to pick us, we just came out of the first immersion
It was super cool
We saw a lot of fish
Cozumel also has spectacular water to dive because there is a lot of reefs, corals
And an incredible marine fauna but there are more water flows
So it's more for a professional diving
If you want to try this for the first time you can do it without any problem
You just have to find a diving school
With an instructor who will give you an onboarding and take you underwater
So you can enjoy that world
Number 4: Beach braids
Making braids is also part of this list, I love to...
To be combed, today is not my day but definitely...
You have to try braids in one of these stands
They are going to look great on you
And so you will be combed for your beach days
I come every 2 days to have new hairstyles
We are decorating my braids, look...
What do you think? The elegance of France
And these stands are all around the 5th Avenue and you get color extensions
And you can have the hairstyle that you like, they have a catalog
Or you can bring your own braid model
I look for mine on Pinterest
And if you want to have the same I did you can look for Andrea
Look how Andrea left me, thanks a lot...
If you come to the Yucatan Peninsula, especifically Playa del Carmen
Don't miss having your braids
But life the whole experience like I did with colors and decoration
With everything, thank you Andrea, I will come back
Number 5: Go party
Another place you must visit is Señor Frogs, I love it because it reminds me...
When I went to Señor Frogs at Margarita Island
And I had great parties when I was 18-20 years old
Today I experience it again, I had a long time without having such a cool night
We even had a dancing contest
The food is really tasty, if you come don't miss the churros
You know that I'm a sweet and dessert lover and churros are really tasty
But also the party atmosphere, the music is incredible and of course
The night life and you can't miss Señor Frogs in Playa del Carmen
Number 6: 5th Avenue
If you come to Playa del Carmen and you don't visit the 5th Avenue
You didn't come to Playa del Carmen, it is something mandatory
You have to walk all around this street, enjoy the stores, I think...
That's why everybody comes here in Playa del Carmen
To have an incredible time and mostly at the 5th Avenue
Number 7: Eating at Porfirio's
I love the next place and it's a really different experience...
To enjoy it if you are in Playa del Carmen
It's regarding Porfirio's restaurant that you are seeing behind me
They sell there typical Mexican food with a fancy touch
Look how cool is this restaurant...
They have an incredible presentation, we have here some esquites
Served in a trajinera with a mini tajin, look... I'm doing a mess
With a mini tajin, tell me that this is not super cute
But what I like the most is this... Look...
Some canasta tacos, literally in a mini basket
They are wrapped to grab them and here we have a...
Torta stand in the best style of Mexico City
I love the presentation but let's try the taste
Look at the dessert...
I'm going to do like Sergio...
Is a plantain with ice-cream
And it comes in cart...
It was really incredible so if you want to try Mexican food
But with a fancy, contemporary, modern touch
Porfirio's is the best option
Number 8: Trying Cochinita Pibil
If you are at this Mexico area, something you must try
Are the cochinita pibil tacos because it is...
A typical food from the Yucatan Peninsula
Cochinita pibil is a delicious meat made with pork that is marinated
In the soil, it means...
Buried, it is a weird preparation that some day I would like to see it
And document for the channel but meanwhile...
If you are in this region taste that taco and if you want to know it better
Go watch my video of street food in Playa del Carmen where we had
Some tasty cochinita tacos...
Right here in this place super pink a cute place
I ate half a taco and now I can't talk
This taste like glory
Number 9: Mayan Portal
Something that I love that is good, beautiful and cheap
Is watching a Mayan show...
Right here in this square, where the Mayan portal is located that by the way
It is also a good option that you come, have a seat, enjoy the beach
The sunset and that portal with all the Mayan representations
But if they are doing typical dance there, much better
Because you are going to see a representation as it was...
A Mayan dance during that era
Number 10: Papantla flyers
And just next to the Mayan portal, the Papantla flyers
That is my next recommendation, a spectacular show
That you need to see if you visit Playa del Carmen, very famous and popular
It lasts 15 minutes approximately and it's really impressive
I hope that this day is useful, if is like that hit the like button, comment
