I'm Sandra and I've been living in Mexico since 2015. For me, Playa del Carmen is much more than a vacation spot – it is 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 thrives not only on sun and beaches, but also on people, traditions, and perspectives that are often not visible at first glance.
On this approximately 3-hour walking tour in small groups (max. 10 people), we discover selected places in the city and immerse ourselves in the culture, history, and present-day Mexico – authentically, vividly, and with room for questions.
Among other things, you will learn:
- Why the way death is handled in Mexico is so special and what role the Día de los Muertos plays
- why skeletons and skulls symbolize joie de vivre
- why Frida Kahlo still reflects social issues today
- How graffiti provides insights into identity, beliefs, and everyday life
- how Playa del Carmen has changed in recent decades
This tour is for those who want to not only photograph Mexico, but really understand it.
If you are curious and want to get a glimpse behind the scenes, join me on a change of perspective through Playa.
