Carnaval in Playa del Carmen
Are there any festivals or parades in PDC for Carnaval? My wife and I will be at the Rui Palace from 2/30 till 3/3/2004. IF not in PDC where would nearest Carnaval fun be located?

I'm not sure about PDC, but Cozumel has a wonderful carnival. They have several parades over the carnival period.
The other place that really goes all out for carnival is Merida, but that would be too far for you. Cozumel would an easy day trip.

Good question. I've just seen them at night, but I've been staying on Cozumel so I didn't need to worry about taking the ferry back. I'm not sure what time the last ferry runs. I do know that the town of San Miguel is very lively during carnival - it's a fun time and I'd definitely recommend it. It's definitely a family time as well - lots of children participate in the carnival.

The best parades are usually at night. The last ferry back is usually at 11PM but may be later now that 2 ferry lines are operating. Shouldn't be a problem since the parades are not late night affairs.
But do go to Cozumel--not much happening in Playa for carnival.
