Grand Costa Maya
True paradise: relaxation, culture, and adventure
Located in the south of Quintana Roo, Grand Costa Maya is one of the Mexican Caribbean’s hidden gems. The gateway to the region is Quintana Roo’s capital city of Chetumal, whose name in Maya means “place of the red wood.” You can also reach Chetumal on a four-hour drive from Cancun, passing through Riviera Maya’s destinations and Maya Ka'an along the way.
Here you will find breathtaking archeological sites like Dzibanché - Kinichná situated between the lowland jungles north of the Yucatan peninsula and the rainforests of Petén. Visitors also won't want to miss a visit to Kohunlich where they will find five of the remaining figures of the "Templo de los Mascarones".
