About Puerto Aventuras

Puerto Aventuras was carved out from the lush tropical jungles along the shore of the Caribbean Sea in the 1980s. This stretch of the seaside on the Yucatan Peninsula was an economic development project supported by the Mexican government to bring international investment and showcase Mexico’s pristine natural beauty.

As Cancun exploded in popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, smaller resort towns like Puerto Aventuras were built to meet the demand for luxury vacations in tropical destinations. It is a short distance, only an 80-minute drive, from Cancun, but has a whole different atmosphere than the big city.

Snorkeling and Scuba Diving

Puerto Aventuras is a gateway to some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving spots in the Riviera Maya. You can take a boat tour to nearby coral reefs and explore the vibrant underwater world filled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and colorful coral. Dive shops in the area offer guided tours and equipment rentals for both beginners and experienced divers. Maybe this will be the year you go for scuba diving certification?

When is the best time to visit Puerto Aventuras

A typical year in Mexico’s tropical climate is divided into two seasons: dry and rainy. The dry season, from late November to April, is the best time to visit Puerto Aventuras. The sunny skies, minimal rainfall, and warm (but not too humid!) temperatures will make relaxing on the beach or renting a boat a pleasant and safe experience.

During the rainy season, from May to October, tropical storms and occasional hurricanes hit the coast. These weather events are important for maintaining Mexico’s lush tropical landscape by providing adequate rainfall and bringing deep-sea nutrients to the coastline. However, they may result in canceled flights, rained-out excursions, and dangerously high winds.
