The vibrant and ever-evolving Playa Del Carmen is brimming with new surprises! As always, I am buzzing with excitement to share the latest sunny scoops from this tropical paradise. Let’s dive into the fun updates this August 2023:
Waxing Lyrical about Tussaud’s!
Hold onto your hats! An exciting Luis Tussaud Wax Museum is rising up. Many may mistake it for “Madame Tussauds,” but fun fact: Luis was the great-grandson of the famous Marie Tussaud. With similar delightful attractions, Playa Del Carmen now gets to flaunt its own wax wonder alongside cities like Niagara Falls and Pattaya. Located conveniently on the bustling 5th Avenue by Calle 14 Bis, this spot promises to be a sparkling addition to the Playa tourist trail.
