Like many tropical resorts, Riviera Maya has two main weather seasons - dry and wet. June, when the Riviera Maya's rainy season begins, is characterized by tropical showers of varying durations. However, do not think that during this period it rains all day long. Sometimes the monthly norm of precipitation falls in a few days, and the rest of the month will be sunny and clear. Most tropical showers occur in the evening or at night and last from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
From June to November, the Caribbean coast is more prone to hurricanes, and winds and storms are also frequent visitors to the beaches of Riviera Maya. Pay attention to the color of the flags on the beaches and never swim during dangerous periods.
Summarizing - in the summer, those who not only want to save money, but also want to experience all the delights of the tropics, go to the beaches of Riviera Maya. Swimming in a heavy downpour in water that is close to very hot is like being in a free sauna. Everyone has their own interest in traveling. So the rainy season in tropical Mexico awaits its admirers.
Beauty and Wildlife in Riviera Maya
The flora and fauna of Riviera Maya is rich and varied, with flamingos and parrots abounding in this unique region, and the coastal waters are rich in the most exotic species of flora and fauna, from molluscs to whales and whale sharks. The peninsula's landscape is also diverse, ranging from lush sandy beaches to tropical evergreen forests, cliffs and rocky uplands.
A distinctive feature of Mexicans is a simply reverent attitude to nature. In Riviera Maya alone there are several unique natural ecoparks. The real gem of the Riviera Maya is the Skaret Natural Park.
A visit to this park will allow you to see all the wonders of the tropical jungle firsthand. More than 100 species of vegetation, unprecedented ornamental and medicinal plants, and sacred Mayan trees are cultivated and protected here. A special program of protection and conservation of rare plant species has been created in the park. Today there are more than 70 thousand plants growing here.
Another attraction of the Riviera Maya's natural world is the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. It starts in Cancun and stretches almost to the Guatemalan border. The richness of the underwater world of the Caribbean Sea here is amazing. You may see sea rays, large sea turtles, and dolphins. However, snorkeling is not safe along the entire length of the reef. We recommend the village of Akumal and the island of Cozumel.
