Hey there, I'm Trish! I love traveling to new places, checking out the best spots, experiencing great nightlife, and making as many new friends along the way as possible! I've never been to Mexico before and I'm really excited to discover it. If you're as excited to get to know a new place as I am, I hope you'll come along!
It’s time to cash in those vacation days and enjoy everything Mexico has to offer in the beachside town of Playa del Carmen. Spend your days on the beach and your nights in the bars with myriad excursions to fill your time. When you’re not at the hotel pool, you’ll find yourself club-hopping with the locals, traversing the iconic ancient Mayan ruins of the Yucatan, and exploring the jungles and the caves of Quintana Roo. With extensive free time built into the trip, you can customize your stay in this tropical paradise where leisure and fun intersect at every turn.
Welcome to Playa del Carmen, one of the Yucatan’s most popular coastal towns, that features great food, fun in the sun, and all the adventure and nightlife you can handle. This beachside hotspot offers the slow pace of vacation life on pristine beaches with the opportunity to explore the ancient wonders of Mexico. Jump in your private transport at the airport, leave your worries at home, and buckle up for 5 days of fun as you head to your Mexican home for the next 4 nights. Head to the pool after you check into the hostel or walk to the famous 5th avenue for palm-tree-lined streets, local shops, and food at every turn. Freshen up and prepare for the group welcome dinner, featuring stellar local fare at Caiman Tugurio. This indoor/outdoor bar welcomes you with its brightly colored walls, cheap drinks, and live music to kick this trip off right.
Good morning! Today is a free day in Playa del Carmen, which means the possibilities are endless. Sit by the pool and soak in the sun or head to the shoreline and let the turquoise waters wash away the hustle of bustle of the world you left behind. If you’re looking for adventure, consider a yacht ride to Cozumel and explore the Meso-American Barrier Reef, the second-longest coral reef in the world. With an open bar and music blasting all day from the boat, you can’t go wrong on this excursion.
