My name is Sandra, and I have been living in Mexico since 2015. For me, Playa del Carmen is much more than a holiday destination—it's a place full of stories, contrasts, and vibrant culture.
Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the history and everyday life of this country, which I am happy to share with you.
Playa is not just about sun and beach; it is also about people, traditions, and perspectives that are often not apparent at first glance.
On this approximately 3-hour walking tour in small groups (max. 10 people), 10 people), we will explore selected locations in the city and, in the process, delve into the culture, history, and present-day Mexico—authentically, vividly, and with plenty of opportunity for questions.
Among other things, you will learn:
- Why the way death is approached in Mexico is so unique, and what role Día de los Muertos plays
- Why skeletons and skulls symbolise a zest for life
- Why Frida Kahlo still reflects social issues today
- How graffiti provides insights into identity, beliefs, and everyday life
- How Playa del Carmen has changed over the past few decades
This tour is for anyone who wants to do more than just photograph Mexico—who wants to truly understand it.
If you're curious and want to get a glimpse behind the scenes, join me on a tour of Playa that will change your perspective.
