Playa del Carmen stands out for the landscapes of its pristine beaches, its cenotes, and its jungle, and even underground, in its caves and rivers. Check out our list of places with the most beautiful panoramic views in this vibrant city.

Parque Fundadores

This is the sort of panoramic view that evokes the magic of local folklore. Parque Fundadores is a place at the shore of the beach, visited by locals and tourists alike. Kids, teenagers, and adults all come to this spot to spend an afternoon, far from technology and the hectic rush of day-to-day life. The view is full of colors and traditions, and there are all kind of candies and local foods around, and as part of the entertainment, there’s a traditional performance by the “Voladores de Papantla” (Papantla’s flyers), a unique religious ceremony. There is a lovely monument under which traditional dances take place, and passengers come and go on the ferry from Cozumel. This panoramic view is special – to one side you have the lively local life and to the other, a view across the sea to the island.
