Travel & Tourism

In website that you?ve got young children, Mexico?s Playa del Carmen is the perfect holiday destination (assuming you?ve got the right travel insurance for SOUTH USA, of course). You can spend your day at the beach, or, in the event that you?re feeling a little more adventurous, there are plenty of nearby places to visit, including ancient Mayan ruins and underwater cenotes.
Take a EXCURSION to Tulum

Start the morning because they build sandcastles and splashing about in the waves at Tulum?s charming beach ? I?d only have to show you a picture of the glorious white sand and picture-book blue sea that you should want to spend all day long there! Once you?re ready for lunch, there are numerous great family-friendly restaurants nearby.

In check here that you?re up for just a little exploring in the afternoon, you could 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 looking out for all the iguanas hiding up there!

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

Spend the Day in Chich�nItz�

Chich�nItz� is really a famous restored Maya site. Its various edifices are known 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 side of El Castillo?s staircase.

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

Take a Glass Bottom Boat Tour in Cozumel

Young children often battle to use snorkels, or find the whole experience a little frightening. In the event that you don?t want them to lose out on seeing all the beautiful marine life though, I?d recommend going for 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 provided with life jackets) and, in the event that you?re lucky, you may even spot several sea turtles.

Keep Your Little Ones Safe with Travel Insurance

With regards to your kids, you won't ever want to put their health at an increased risk. It?s always best to be covered in the event something does happen, and, to be honest, it?s worth it just for your personal satisfaction. InsureMore?s travel insurance for South America supplies a 24-hour emergency service, quick online claims, and (big seller) free cover for children on family policies.
