The vacation-oriented coast south of Cancún on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula is famed for its resorts as well as their various shopping, dining, nightlife, and a broad menu of daytime activities. And one of the Riviera Maya's top activities is diving and snorkeling amid the corals that lie offshore, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef - the world's second largest after Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Its core appeal has always been its beaches and nightlfe (along with the chance to take day trips to incredible Mayan archaeological sites; there's even a tiny one right here, called Ruinas del Rey). And over the years many other options have…

Flying with the 'bird men' of Papantla, Veracruz

  They fly through the air with the greatest of ease, these Totonac "bird men" re-enacting ancestral traditions in their home town of Papantla, located on forested hills a four-hour drive or one-hour flight from Mexico City in this country's northern Totonacapán region of Veracruz state (it's four hours by bus from the city of Veracruz).

    MexicoGuru.com is a good place for searching for accommodations but it is more in tune with Mexico lovers who want an experience that large hotel chains don´t provide.  The Department of Tourism has many web pages and they are well designed so that knowing Spanish is not really required.  For instance our state has www.morelostravel.com which covers everything a traveler would need to make a choice in where to stay.

    I have found the meta engine www.hotelscombined.com to be quite useful. It covers a lot of ground. But to ferret out hidden gems requires an exponential investment of time doing research in non search related sites.

    www.pricetravel.com and www.bestday.com are two of the most popular sites to search for hotels in Mexico.  Locogringo.com also has a good selection in the Riviera Maya.
