Areas of particular interest toChildren
The ancient Mayan ruins are just the sort of historical site that appeals to children. More Indian Jones as a stuffy museum, they have an air of mystery that will appeal (as long as one does not spend too long to not educate them on Maya history!). One advantage of the Mayan ruins is that no (are too far from the Mayan Riviera, even children hate car journeys to see far-off sites that they are moving away from the beach and pool). There is also the unique "eco-archaeological"theme parks, Xcaret and Xel-ha.
Keeping Them Safe and Healthy
When traveling to the Mayan Riviera with children keep in mind the strength of the sun. If you are coming from Northern Europe or North America then the power of the Caribbean sun will come as a shock. Use plenty of a high-factor sun block and apply it frequently throughout the day. Keep them covered up and wearing a sun hat whenever possible, including wearing a t-shirt or similar when in the water.
