Ciudad del Carmen

Founded in the pre-Hispanic era, Ciudad del Carmen was a strategic location which served to connect the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, but now is one of the most important cities in South Region of Mexico and a destination that you have to visit in your next vacation.

The city is known as "The Pearl of the Gulf". Until the 70’s this was a fishing town until oil was discovered in the region; since then it has grown and developed substantially into one of the most successful cities in the country. To this day, Ciudad del Carmen is known to have the best seafood in Mexico.

The natural beauty of this island is evident. You can visit the beautiful beaches of Tortugueros, San Julian and Bahamitas, when you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Gulf of Mexico and be mesmerized by the Polaroid landscapes. But Playa del Carmen also offers a biodiversity unique of the region. A visit to the Terminos Lagoon is a great experience to observe the beautiful wildlife, and you can also get a tour guide into the mangroves, home of hundreds of animal species.

During your tour be sure to visit the Municipal Palace and Zaragoza Park, the churches of the Lady of Carmen and Lady of Jesus and the City Museum. There is a variety of arts and crafts stands and stores in the downtown, surrounded by beautiful buildings with European style. The bridge “El Zacatal”, constructed in 1994, is one of the longest in Latin America.
