Travel to Mexico and cross these 7 items off your bucket list

By | 19 June, 2025 | 0 comments

Imagine a place where the Caribbean Sea meets white-sand beaches, where history blends with the jungle, and every day is an adventure?

That place is Mexico, and more specifically the Riviera Maya, one of the most spectacular destinations on the planet.

Here, the magic of ancient culture meets idyllic landscapes, natural parks, unforgettable flavours and unique experiences that many of us dream of experiencing at least once in our lifetime.

Today we’re going to tell you about 7 activities you can do in the Riviera Maya that will allow you to tick several items off your bucket list… and all in one trip!

 

1. Swim in a sacred cenote

Cenotes are natural freshwater wells that are formed by the collapse of limestone structures. They are unique to this part of the world.

Swimming in one of these pools is like diving into a magical underground world surrounded by stalactites and lush vegetation.

Places like Gran Cenote, Dos Ojos, and Cenote Azul are perfect for swimming, diving, and connecting with the energy of nature.

2. Visit one of the 7 Wonders of the World: Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza

This Mayan archaeological site, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most iconic places in Mexico.

The Temple of Kukulkán, also known as ‘El Castillo’ (The Castle) is a marvel of ancient engineering.

Walking among the ruins of this sacred city is an experience that inspires respect, admiration, and a desire to open your history book again.

 

3. Dive or snorkel on the world’s second largest coral reef

Off the coast of the Riviera Maya lies the Great Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, an underwater paradise of vibrant colours and marine life.

Whether you’re in Puerto Morelos, Akumal or Cozumel, you’ll be able to swim alongside turtles, tropical fish, rays and corals.

This is an experience that many of us dream of enjoying at least once in our lifetime… and here, it’s right at our fingertips!

 

4. Experience an authentic Mayan ritual

Connecting with the spiritual roots of a region is a transformative experience.

Some local spas and cultural centres offer Mayan rituals such as the temazcal: an ancient steam bath ceremony guided by a shaman that purifies body, mind and spirit.

An intense, profound, and truly transformative experience.

 

5. Explore one of the Caribbean’s most idyllic beaches

From the long, tranquil beaches of Xpu-Ha, to the lively shores of Playa del Carmen, or the unspoilt coastline of Sian Ka’an, every corner of the Caribbean coastline offers picture-perfect views.

Walking barefoot on white sand, watching the sun rise over the turquoise sea, or simply relaxing under a palm tree, may be just what you need to disconnect from the everyday world.

 

6. Enjoy authentic Mexican food by the sea

Fresh fish tacos

Fresh fish tacos, ceviche with habanero chilli, freshly prepared guacamole, or cochinita pibil wrapped in banana leaves.

Now imagine all that accompanied by a cold beer or margarita as you revel in the murmur of the waves.

In the Riviera Maya, gastronomy is a sensory experience that deserves its own place on your bucket list.

Come and taste it for yourself: 7 typical Mexican dishes that are not to be missed.

 

7. Take a catamaran trip at sunset

There are few things as memorable as sailing the Caribbean waters as the sun sets on the horizon.

Many tours offer catamaran rides, complete with music, drinks and snorkelling included.

This is the perfect activity for couples, groups of friends, or even solo travellers looking for a tranquil way to enjoy the sea in style.

 

The Riviera Maya is not just another destination in the Caribbean: it’s the place where your travel dreams come true.

If you have a bucket list, get ready to tick off several items at once.

Because travelling to Mexico, and especially to this jewel in the south-east, is to give yourself the gift of experiences that will stay with you forever.
