Geographical Info:
Beginning
just where the well known Mayan Riviera ends,
the Costa Maya stretches along the coastline up to Belize.
No where near as much development has occurred here as the Riviera.
Highway 307 veers away from the coast and by the time it gets to Felipe
Carrillo Puerto you are more than 50 km away from the coast. Driving
along dirt roads one can cruise the coastline however the roads are
not well maintained and a 4-wheel drive vehicle like our Unimog
4x4 is recommended.
The Costa Maya is the last remaining section
of coastal properties yet to be exploited and there are acres of coastal
land with absolutely no development. The odd fishing village spots the
landscape but not much beyond that.
Driving along the coastline you encounter numerous cenotes and you can
still see the outlines and impressions of villages that were there centuries
ago.
