The state of Quintana Roo, Mexico's only Caribbean real estate, stretches north from the border with Belize to the extreme northeastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Its barrier reef - the world's second largest - runs almost this entire distance, ending at Isla Mujeres.
This and the other reefs along the coast provide a profusion of excellent diving and snorkeling sites ranked among the world's best. Quintana Roo is also home to several impressive Mayan ruins and to resorts of every size and flavor.

Suggested Itineraries: Yucatan Peninsula
Cozumel is one of the most popular diving destinations in the world. Its diving conditions are unsurpassed for many reasons, chief among them the fantastic year-round visibility and jaw-droppingly awesome variety of marine life. Many of the dive sites are within the protected Parque Nacional Marino Arrecifes de Cozumel.
Playa del Carmen is one of the best places on the coast to dive and snorkel. You can grab a snorkel and mask and dive in right from the beach; however, the most spectacular underwater sites are at the offshore reefs.
