Bezienswaardigheden in Quintana Roo

Quintana Roo's Absolute Essentials

Quintana Roo spans the eastern Yucatán Peninsula, home to the clifftop Mayan ruins of Tulum and the towering Nohoch Mul pyramid at Coba. The region's unique geology features extensive underground river systems and cenotes like Dos Ojos and Rio Secreto. Coastal destinations include the car-free Holbox Island, the multi-hued Bacalar Lagoon, and the expansive sands of Playa Delfines. For urban exploration, Playa del Carmen's pedestrian Fifth Avenue provides a hub for dining, while Cancún hosts the large-scale theatrical performances of Coco Bongo.
