You will need good sunglasses during your vacation on the Riviera Maya. They will block the sun and shield your bloodshot eyes. This stone Mayan statue is on a roundabout on the corners of Constituyentes and Fifth Avenue in Playa del Carmen. A store nearby, the Sunglass Island, used to display these enormous red glasses at their entrance. The blue sky and puffy clouds is the glorious canopy over the Yucatán Peninsula.
