Cancun & The Riviera Maya

Just writting a little something about Cancun & The Riviera Maya.

When you think of Cancun & The Riviera Maya you think of it´s pristine waters with various shades of turquoise & blue splashing against the white sandy beaches that are always welcoming to the bare feet and magically never seem to burn, even on a warm summer´s day. Even though the beaches are so tempting and they are one of the main attractions there is still so much more that these beautiful destinations have to offer.

For the ones of us that enjoy spending a buck or two, there are so many shopping options to choose from. Cancun & The Riviera Maya offers everything from luxury brand names that you can find in places like Kukulcan Plaza & La Isla Shopping Center, to bargain markets & souvenir shops.
