Playa del Carmen isn’t only a place to have fun at the beach. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Believe me, I love going to the beach as much as anybody, but I also am a lover of the arts.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are many great Playa del Carmen cultural tours<\/strong><\/a> that many people don’t even know about.<\/p>\n

And while visiting the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza<\/strong><\/a> or Tulum<\/strong> <\/a>is both enriching and entertaining, it’s not quite the same as experiencing some of the regions modern-day attractions.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorites.<\/p>\n

5 Awesome Playa del Carmen Cultural Tours<\/h2>\n

When the sun sets over the Caribbean and the lights go on in Playa’s bustling downtown area, the tourist zone turns into a playground for those looking to explore the town’s more wild side. <\/span><\/p>\n

But it’s not all party. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also experience the finest Mexican folklore at Xcaret, see an amazing Cirque Du Soleil performance or let yourself become seduced by the freedom from inhibitions at the new Rauxa Restaurant & Show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like in the next example, there is even a short day trip to a local Mayan community.<\/p>\n

Check ’em out.<\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

Step away from the touristy all-inclusive hotels and head into the land that the Mayans have called their home for centuries on end.<\/p>\n

Get out of your comfort zone and interact with the local population on their own turf, in their communities, on the Mayan Village Tour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You’ll hear the people generously tell their story and share their lifestyle with complete strangers.<\/p>\n

And remember the wise words of Mark Twain: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”<\/p>\n
