Puerto Morelos Travel Guide

Nestled between the hugely popular Mexican vacation resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carme, Puerto Morelos is a nice alternative getaway spot for those who do not like to be surrounded by tourists when they travel. Though Puerto Morelos is a popular beach spot, it has retained a lot of its authentic Mexican charm.

Things to Do in Puerto Morelos

Puerto Morelos' Jardín Botanico Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín are botanical gardens unlike any other - not only do they contain unusual and exotic plantlife and cacti, they also feature a winding trail that leads to crumbling Mayan ruins. Puerto Morelos features a number of unusual and worthwhile attractions - including the quirky Faro Inclinado - a lighthouse that is leaning to one side as a result of a ferocious hurricane, and the Croco Cun zoo - a spot where travelers can actually stroke and pet crocs, yikes!

Best Time to Visit Puerto Morelos

Spring is a pleasant time to head to Puerto Morelos, in order to enjoy warm, pleasant temperatures without summer's humidity.
