For those who have been to Riveria Maya.....
 
Hello! My brother is going to Riveria Maya in Mexico for his honeymoon. We were thinking of getting him a print (photo or painting) that would be a honeymoon reminder. I have been looking online, but i am not sure what represents that area well. I have found Playa Del Carmen photos, but not sure if that is the same place. Any ideas? Thanks!

The Riviera Maya is a large area of which Playa del Carmen is one part. It basically extends from Cancun south to Tulum. Where is he staying? You could also search Puerto Morelos, Tulum, Puerto Aventuras, and Cancun.

One of the things Riviera Maya is known for is cenotes. Maybe you can find out if they are going to one, find out which one and then try and find a print of that particular cenote. There are a lot of beautiful photographs of cenotes out there.

Depending on your budget...

How about paying to have a photographer take their pictures while down there. Then they can have a fantastic lasting memory of themselves in a beautiful setting?

Or a couples massage while there or just spending money.

Do they have lots of prints in their home? That's one of those gifts that might not work.

Find out if they are visiting Tulum, since a photo of the Tulum ruins overlooking the beautiful Carribean is perhaps the best photo op in the area.
