Our second vacation to Mexico, and Riviera Maya is another magical dream come true.  Whether you are a sun lover, an adventure seeker, or both (like me), you'll quickly realize why this has quickly become a travel hot spot.  To inspire you to visit Riviera Maya (we stood at Occidental at Xcaret Destination) here are my top 8 things for you to see and do.

Mayan Ruins

natural pool by the sea

underground rivers

Friendly wildlife in resort

"xcaret mexico expectacular"

Gave me goosebumps more than once!! And this is coming from somebody who doesn't enjoy musicals at all.  With over 300 on-stage artists, they take you with them on the most amazing journey through Mexico's history.

River running through resort

River runs right though the center of the resort and right by our room balcony... such a beautiful view to wake up to.

clear blue ocean with fish swimming around you

Romantic night walk on the beach

This was hands down our most epic vacation yet, and to think we booked it only 3 days in advance!
