Playa del Carmen, Mexico. 5th Avenue Walking Tour

Nestled along the pristine shores of the Yucatán Peninsula, Playa del Carmen in Mexico stands as a captivating testament to the evolution of a once quaint fishing village into a vibrant and sought-after tourist destination. Its history as a tranquil retreat dates back to ancient Mayan times, where the city was known as "Xaman-Ha," a place of pilgrimage and connection to nature. However, it wasn't until the latter half of the 20th century that Playa del Carmen began its transformation into a hub of tourism. As Cancún's popularity grew, Playa del Carmen emerged as a quieter alternative, drawing travelers with its charming blend of stunning Caribbean beaches, rich Mayan heritage, and a burgeoning nightlife. The cobblestone streets, lined with a mix of traditional Mexican architecture and modern amenities, speak to the town's diverse history.

@@pddembowski ok, be safe. Peace

[@neilcharles2520]

5th ave was all dirt a few years ago,it was recently done over with the bricks and what a mess it was for about 2 years,because they also had a few hurricanes when the work was being done..The ADO buses from the airport to Cancun and PDC leaves every 20 minutes,they now have a small grocery outside where you can buy snacks and drinks..instead of paying crazy prices at the 2 bars outside the airport..

[@pddembowski]

ok thanks for all the information. I may take the ADO to Merida next time I'm in Mexico.

Thinking of going here soon for 2 months! Work online in high ticket sales, south America key for me. Need good internet, infrastructure, beaches.....would you say playa or would you recommend somewhere else?

[@FyahAlex]

Plenty of AirBnb have fiber optic service. Infrastructure, services, etc. are all intact. The only place where I'd say Playa falls a little short are its beaches. In of themselves, they're fine, but if you compare them to Cancun or Tulum (45 mins - 1 hour) in each direction, you'll find that the beaches in those areas are nice in that they're much deeper. Playa has suffered from a lot of beach erosion. All-in-all, Playa is a great destination for remote workers.

Mexico has a Coca-Cola addiction. There are diabetes epidemics in parts of the country due to the love for sugary drinks.

Как там кривая проституции? - с надеждой бы спросил Александр Ибн-Иванович.

[@timkelly5609]

who comments on high calories and weight problems. I mean won't be watching this guy any more

[@pddembowski]

Ok how about I comment on sugary drinks & diabetes? As a commenter below says "Mexico has a Coca-Cola addiction. There are diabetes epidemics in parts of the country due to the love for sugary drinks." Hi-calorie soft drinks are garbage. If that stops you from watching so be it.

[@marciforan7033]

Very rude to comment on people’s weight problems I’m a slim person and I find you offensive
