There is no doubt that Quintana Roo is one of the most visited and sought-after states for a paradisiacal holiday, not only nationally but also internationally. This is thanks to its archaeological sites, the great offer of entertainment and sport activities, as well as its gastronomy and its huge resorts.

If you are planning to travel for a few days (or weeks), we can suggest an endless number of places where, thanks to a guided tour, you will get to know its history, culture and, why not, its flavour. Let's start with the capital, Chetumal, which is distinguished by its old but picturesque wooden houses. Here you can visit the Museum of Mayan Culture, where you will understand more about the architecture and influence of the culture from the south of Mexico.

- The Caiman Park is another site located in Chetumal that you cannot miss as it is one of the oldest ones and, with a guide, you will learn why it is a symbol of this city and where you can go shopping since there is also a bazaar. If you prefer, you can also choose to visit the Manatee Sanctuary, where you will learn about the importance of their care and protection, as they were considered an endangered species not long ago.

If there is one thing, we can boast about is that Quintana Roo, (together with Yucatán) has the largest number of archaeological sites in the country and, for this reason, you will find plenty of guided tours and excursions that will take you to each one of them. Here is a summary of the ones you can choose from and get to know their history in detail with a guided tour:

What to see in Quintana Roo?

- Tulum: visit this ancient walled city located in the Riviera Maya, nowadays it is named National Park and during your visit you will be able to know its most important pyramid called "El Castillo", the coastal area of "Casa Cenote" and the temple of the God of Wind.

- El Meco: here you will enjoy a tour around its 14 Mayan structures and a pyramid with 5 levels. You will want to know more about one of its structures, due to the fact that a fig tree grew inside it, this can be found in the north of the precinct.

There are some other archaeological zones that with real local tour guides, you will be able to discover and that are not so well known (not for that reason less important). For example:

- Dzibanché: its structure and pyramids resemble those found in Teotihuacán, thanks to their engravings and terminations. This archaeological zone is one of the few that allows you to go up and see its size first-hand. The Gann Plaza and the Temple of the Lintels are the first attractions.

- Kinichná: this is another site with a lot of history that you cannot miss. Ask your guide to take you to see the hieroglyphs found in the Temple of the Captives, walk through its monumental acropolis and appreciate its 3 levels. Here you will find art from the Early Classic period.

On the other hand, we know that taking a holiday in the Mexican Caribbean is a synonym of partying, so you may also decide to book guided tours to the main nightclubs. These tours will surely include drinks or shots in each of the bars and, of course, you will be accompanied by the funniest guide in all of Quintana Roo. And besides, you will be able to meet people from all over the world. If you are single, this is an excellent option to maybe find a summer love.

Finding tours in Quintana Roo will be an easy task because there is so much to show off that you won't have enough days to visit the most beautiful parts of this state. For your convenience, you will find options that include transportation from your hotel, so you won't have to worry about renting a car and sometimes you won't have to worry about where to eat, as the guides usually take you to local restaurants or include a delicious buffet.

Thanks to their proximity, you will find guided tours departing from Quintana Roo and travelling to Yucatan where you can also visit archaeological sites such as Coba or Chichen Itza, two of the most important ones in the country.

If you want to relax and get to know the most important beaches of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, you will find excellent tour guides who will also invite you to have fun with the best atmosphere and music, taking you to reserved areas and private beaches of the big hotels.

The Mexican Caribbean is there to be enjoyed to the fullest and what better way to do it than with guides who are experts in history, culture, gastronomy and entertainment. Thanks to the thousands of visitors that Quintana Roo receives from all over the world, you will find that most of them speak English, so language will not be an obstacle.
