Beyond Playa del Carmen: Child-Friendly Fun in South America
Travel & Tourism
Is this free article highly relevant to this category?

If you?ve got young children, Mexico?s Playa del Carmen may be the perfect holiday destination (assuming you?ve got the proper travel insurance for SOUTH USA, of course). It is possible to spend your day at the beach, or, in the event that you?re feeling a little more adventurous, there are loads of nearby places to go to, including ancient Mayan ruins and underwater cenotes.
Take a EXCURSION to Tulum

Start the morning by building sandcastles and splashing about in the waves at Tulum?s charming beach ? I?d only have to show you an image of the glorious white sand and picture-book blue sea that you can want to spend all day there! When you?re ready for lunch, there are many great family-friendly restaurants nearby.

In the event that you?re up for a little exploring in the afternoon, you can go to the Columbian Mayan site. Located on a 12-metre-high cliff facing the Caribbean Sea, these ruins are breath-taking. My kids loved shopping for all of the iguanas hiding up there!

Another option would be to frolic in the water in the natural underwater pools. These cenotes have unbelievably clear water which are filled up with different coloured fish. They?re often within caves and have the most phenomenal stalactites and stalagmites you?ll ever see. Believe me, it?s an experience your kids won?t forget.

Spend your day in Chich�nItz�

Chich�nItz� is a famous restored Maya site. Its various edifices are referred to as ?time temples?, revealing the mysteries of the Mayan astronomical calendar. At the spring and autumn equinoxes, the morning and afternoon sun creates an excellent optical illusion of there being truly a serpent ascending or descending the medial side of El Castillo?s staircase.

Now I realise that going away in March or September doesn?t really fit with the youngsters? school holidays, but don?t worry, you won?t be missing out. The illusion is recreated by way of a light-and-sound show throughout the year (and frankly, the true event is indeed crowded your little ones probably wouldn?t manage to see anything in the event that you went during the actual equinox). The 45-mintues light show is just as good and can fascinate the kids!

Have a Glass Bottom Boat Tour in Cozumel

Young children often struggle to use snorkels, or discover the whole experience just a little frightening. If you don?t want them to miss out on seeing all the beautiful marine life though, I?d recommend taking a boat tour around Cozumel. You?ll be able to admire the tropical fish that hide in the reefs from the safety of the boat (kids are given with life jackets) and, if you?re lucky, you may even spot several sea turtles.

Keep Your Little Ones Safe with Travel Insurance

When it comes to your kids, you won't ever want to put their health at an increased risk. It?s always best to be covered just in case something does happen, and, in all honesty, it?s worthwhile just for your personal reassurance. InsureMore?s travel cover for South America supplies a 24-hour emergency service, quick online claims, and (big seller) free cover for children on family policies.
