In this first part of the second episode of Echando Raíces, we dive into the fascinating transformation of Playa del Carmen—from a quiet Mayan fishing village called Xaman-Há into one of the most-visited tourist destinations on the continent. Eduardo Vales, Laura Contreras, Bruno Rovea, and Guillermo Teyseyre share anecdotes, historical facts, and reflections on the rapid growth of the Mexican Caribbean, the impact of tourism, and the region’s urban evolution.From the Mayan legacy to the arrival of Jacques Cousteau and the rise of the Riviera Maya as a tourism brand, this episode traces the history and foundations that make Playa del Carmen a unique place to live, visit… and invest.Sources consulted and suggested:https://www.inegi.org.mxhttps://www.gob.mx/fonaturhttps://www.gob.mx/solidaridadhttps://sedeturqroo.gob.mxhttps://www.asur.com.mxhttps://www.gob.mx/secturhttps://sedeturqroo.gob.mxhttps://trenmaya.gob.mxhttps://www.semarnat.gob.mxhttps://fonatur.gob.mxhttps://www.grupoxcaret.com/es/historia/https://www.xcaret.com/es/acerca-de-xcaret/https://www.visitmexico.comhttps://www.rivieramaya.mxhttps://www.xcaret.comSíguenos en instagram en: @echando.raices_podcast Proximamente en TikTok y YouTube Bienvenidos a Echando Raíces!
