BOTANICAL GARDEN ALFREDO BARRERA

Lush garden with palms, cacti & other plants, plus a walking trail to an ancient Mayan site. This place, while shouldn’t be “hyped up” too much, is actually quite spectacular and very worthwhile. Open from 8am to 4pm (but they don’t actually close until 7pm, so you can enjoy this place as the sun goes down).

5. EXPLORE LA RUTA DE LOS CENOTES

Puerto Morelos is located only 10 min away from La Ruta De Los Cenotes, which translates to the route of the cenotes. Which is a several kilometer long road with many different options of places to visit with natural swimming holes, of all sizes and varieties. Some of our favorites are: Verde Lucero, Kin Ha, and Las Mojarras, to name a few. We recommend renting a car and venturing out on your own!

6. WALK NORTH & SOUTH ON THE BEACH

Whether daytime or evening, walk safely down the beach and discover all areas of Puerto Morelos. From the busy bar-restaurant zone, to the less traveled areas heading north towards Punta Caracol. Don’t forget to bring your water bottle and wear repellent if walking close to sundown!

7. RENT BIKES

The good thing about this small town is you can explore it all by foot. But even better, rent a bike. With bike friendly, mostly flat roads, get on a cruiser and check out all the sites, stopping where you wish.
