AKUMAL-MAYAN RIVIERA MEXICO May 11
Akumal is another amazing place to go in the Mayan Riviera. It is located 60 miles south of Cancun. Its name means ” place of the turtles ” so you can get an idea what this place is famous for. This is still a favorite place for sea turtles to lay their eggs.
Akumal is a place where you can spend a very relaxing day or if you prefer, there are also some activities you can enjoy. It is a really good place for snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing.
I personally love to snorkle in Akumal because the water is crystal clear and because the reef is not too far from the shore. Another reason why I love to snorkle here is because of the different kind of sea life that you can find. I have snorkled here several times and I have been able to see sting rays, different kinds of colorful fish, corals of course, and sea turtles. I specially like a kind of fish called parrot fish. This is a kind of fish that as its name says looks very much like a parrot. This is because of the colors that it has, the same color of a parrot, and also its mouth looks very much like a parrot’s beak.
Anyway, I love to snorkle in Akumal because I’m guaranteed that I will be able to see all of these different kind of fish. So if you ever come to the Mayan Riviera, try to come to Akumal where I guarantee you will have a wonderful and relaxing time.
