Cozumel & Playa del Carmen ? || Tequila Mezcal & Beach Bars @svkalos

Welcome to Kalos, in this video we enjoy the Yucatán Peninsula as we visit Playa del Carmen and Cozumel. Playa del Carmen is less internationally recognized than its northern sister city, Cancun. However, this comes with many added benefits. Unlike Cancun, which has a reputation of being incredibly touristy, Playa del Carmen retains an authentic Mexican feel due to its smaller size despite still being a tourist destination. Also, Playa del Carmen can be far less crowded and hectic than Cancun year-round. The resorts and hotels are also much newer in Playa del Carmen. To summarize, anything one can find in Cancun - be it gorgeous beaches, great nightlife, or delicious cuisine - one can also find in Playa del Carmen, but in a much more authentic and relaxed environment. White sand beaches in Playa del Carmen Quinta Avenida, also referred to in English as 5th Avenue, is the main tourist thoroughfare in Playa. It is a pedestrian only, cobblestone lined street which spans approximately 20 blocks. Along 5th Ave. you will find a variety of restaurants, bars, clubs, shopping opportunities and various overpriced services. In Playa, nearly everything starts from this street. If you have more local fare in mind, head a few avenues (they are counted in jumps of five, the next one besides fifth avenue is tenth avenue) inland and prices as well as the number of gringos tend to fall. Towards the south there is a gated community full of air bnb rentals and hotels called "playacar". You might be able to just walk in, but security will stop cars and possibly pedestrians at the entrance gate. 00:00 Playa del Carmen 02:07 Cozumel 03:11 Rasta's Beach Bar 04:02 El Mirador 04:22 Playa Chen Rio 05:44 El Cedral Tequila Tasting 06:15 Occidental Hotel #rastafari #cozumelmexico #playadelcarmenmexico #yucatan #occidental #tequilatasting #mezcalartesanal #beachbars
