Travel Designer Review:
We need to drive to Playa del Carmen around 3.5 hours from Bacalar. I will suggest you this itinerary with some optional activities.
Start your day with a delicious breakfast in Bacalar, a beautiful town known for its stunning lagoon with crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Once you've finished breakfast, prepare for the road to Playa del Carmen or Cancún.
Head out towards Mahahual, a picturesque beach located about an hour off the main road to Playa del Carmen.
Spend some time enjoying Mahahual's pristine sands and crystal-clear waters. This charming beach town offers a perfect spot for relaxation and water activities such as snorkeling or diving.
After spending an hour at Mahahual, head back to the main road and continue your journey towards Playa del Carmen.
This stop is OPTIONAL, going to Mahahual and returning to the main road will add 2 hours to your driving journey today.
En route to Playa del Carmen, you have the option to stop in Tulum. Although a full-day tour from Playa del Carmen to Tulum is recommended to fully explore this archaeological site and go to the beach, a brief stop can still provide a glimpse of its beauty and significance.
Explore Tulum's ancient Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Take in the breathtaking views and learn about the history of this once-thriving port city.
Continue your journey towards Playa del Carmen, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening.
Upon arrival, check into your hotel and enjoy some downtime to refresh and unwind after a day of adventure and exploration.
Head out to explore Playa del Carmen's vibrant nightlife. With its bustling shops, restaurants, and bars, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Make sure to sample some local cuisine and experience the lively atmosphere.
