In life, you can face many things and challenges daily, but everything can be achieved with perseverance and being empathetic with others! My name is Mariana, and I have been in Playa del Carmen for 35 years. Due to this, I know the area very well. I grew up in this beautiful country! From a very young age I liked outdoor activities and I knew that one day I was going to be a leader and ambassador of my country, I did not know how, but now I have been a guide for more than 8 years, and my work is one of my passions. I love to show people everything we can find in this country. But especially in this area where there is so much to see and learn, I love knowing that people travel here and that I can do something to raise awareness to visit us with love and respect and above all, I'd like you to get a great impression of my country. In my free time, I like to run, which is another way to enjoy outdoor activities. If you really want to know Mexico and especially this area of the Riviera Maya, do not hesitate to ask me, I will be here waiting for you to show you every detail of this beautiful place! Credentials Num08 & Nom09 (legally required for tour guides to work in Mexico). Driver's license. RCP & First Aid Certified Almost a decade of experience guiding. None.

Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour

I invite you to embark on this magical tour through incredible places that will transport you through time and culture and will give you goosebumps, such as it happened to me the very first time I visited. I just had the feeling that I belong there. I'm talking about Ek balam, which are ruins comprised of iconic architectural elements such as impressively deep defensive walls, a ceremonial entrance arch, and the Oval Palace, which once was the site of burial relics. This beautiful and well-preserved city will leave you mesmerized, surrounded by nature's beauty and ancient history. Besides visiting this archaeological site, we'll be able to swim in the refreshing waters of an amazing cenote! This natural sinkhole is perfect for cooling off after a day of adventure. The crystal-clear water and stunning rock formations will leave you in awe and rejuvenated. I'm sure you'll love this entire experience with me in a very private tour, visiting authentically local places, beating the crowds to the punch.
