The Riviera Maya region technically begins at Bahía Petempich (also known as Punta Tanchacté), where long expanses of sand are lapped by turquoise waters. Historically a fishing village, this area has recently been overtaken by Puerto Morelos’s growth, and now there are new hotels and resorts here as well.
Bahía Petempich is quieter than neighboring towns but still close to the action. Petempich Bay in Puerto Morelos, the main port of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, Puerto Morelos is located in the middle of Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
This land is located near “The Route of the Cenotes”, the cenotes are deep water wells, which are fed by the filtration of the rain and by the currents of the rivers that are born in the heart of the earth and one of the most popular attractions among locals and travelers, on this route we find a wide variety of cenotes of all kinds: open pit, semi-open and underground.
The ride from the Cancun Airport to Bahía Petempich, depends on where exactly your hotel is located it can take from 15 minutes to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
