Riviera Maya, also known as the Mayan Riviera, is a tourism district and follows the coastal Highway 400 which parallels the Caribbean coastline of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

The place was originally called the Cancun, but renamed as the Riviera Maya in 1999. Miguel Ramón Martín Azueta was the mayor of the municipality at that time.

Major attractions on the Mayan Riviera are coastal and reef aquatic activities, jet skiing, scuba diving, swimming, dolphins, zip-lining and guided jungle tours.

Other big tourist draw in the area is Archeology and includes the popular sites: Tulum, Xcaret and Xel-Ha. The town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto and the towns of Puerto Morelos form a part of the historical and tourist corridor of the place.

The barrier reef system of Mayan Riviera is the second largest in the world which begins from Cancun and ends near Guatemala.
