A popular luxury vacation destination, Riviera Maya offers travelers both a Caribbean beach paradise and colorful history.

Originally the Cancun-Tulum corridor, the name Riviera Maya was adopted in 1999 to reflect the area’s Mayan legacy. It extends from Playa del Carmen in the north to Tulum in the south, and some 40 km inland to border with Yucatan.

The Mayans began settling the area nearly 3,000 years ago. Extremely advanced in the areas of engineering, mathematics, astronomy, and writing, the legacy left behind by the Mayans has created one of the greatest tourist attractions of Central America, including such archaeologically significant achievements as Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum.

In the 1500s, the Spanish began to conquer parts of the Caribbean. Taking over the area in a little over a year, it took nearly 20 years for the Maya to surrender to Spanish conquistadors.

Mexico’s 1821 independence from Spain did not turn out to be a boon for Mayan inhabitants. Ancestral claims to land were disregarded, and many Maya became slaves to new land owners. In 1847 a rebellion was attempted, but the Mexican army drove the Maya out, and after several years they surrendered.

Today’s Mayans have greatly benefited not only from 1930s land reform and aid, but from the development of Cancun and today’s tourism industry, from which many make a living.
