Travelers Guide to Puerto Morelos


Puerto Morelos

 

Puerto Morelos  is a small fisher-village located 20 mls south  of Cancún ( 10 mls from Cancún International Airport )  & 22 mls north of Playa del Carmen. A perfect place to enjoy & relax, a unique vacation in the Mayan Riviera

 

In contrast to all the expansion that is taking place along the coastline (Riviera Maya), Puerto Morelos will retain its small village atmosphere, due to several factors. 

 

The government has declared the reef area and the mangroves, which exist behind the town, ecological preserves. Also, unlike Playa del Carmen (which has sustained major growth over the past 10 years), the lot sizes in Puerto Morelos are small with strict building codes enforced. It is the intent of the locals to keep development to a minimum

 

The reef (declared National Park),is the world's second largest barrier reef, (  500 Mtrs from the shore!!! ) . Where  you can go swiming comfortably. Ideal for swim ,diving,  snorkeling windsurf and more activities... 

 

Puerto Morelos is close to and protected by the reef, making it a especial place for safe swimming and for taking diving lessons, with easy access to the fascinating underwater world of the caribbean

 

In the entrance of the town it is located the only Botanical Garden of the region & the Zoo.

 

The town is surrounded of swamps ( mangle ) with part of the beautiful local fauna
