Just south of the hustle and bustle of Cancun Mexico, is Costa Maya- what is until now, the Caribbean's best kept secret. There are no crowds of tourists here, just crystal clear waters, long deserted stretches of sandy beaches, abundant and prisitine wildlife, and some of the best coral reef systems in the world including Chinchorro, the largest and oldest reef in Mexico.
Costa Maya borders the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean at over one million acres, containing wetlands, marshes, and over one million acres of tropical forests. Here you will find over 100 mammal species including the jaguar, over 300 bird species, 3 species of crocodiles, nesting beaches for two species of sea turtles, and 2,300 year old Mayan ruins.
