The Riviera Maya offers 80 miles of Caribbean coastline winding along the eastern side of the Yucatan Peninsula inin the Mexican state of Quintana Roo.

This land was given to Mexican citizens after the Mexican Revolution, for the purposes of agriculture or work, and was not corrected orprivatized. The small fraction of land that had been privatized and located throughout the resort destinations on the Mexican Riviera, where foreigners can buy property and hold title as an act in 50 years of Bank Trust.
