The Riviera Maya was an important commercial and religious center of
the ancient Mayas during the post-Classic period (1000-1550 AD).
Then became an important commercial route when the Spaniards
arrived in the XVI century. The Spanish rule, the wild jungle, pirate
raids and the difficulties to access many areas halted development in
the region for many years. It was not util the decade of 1980’s
