Well, you can stop dreaming because this magical place it’s in the Riviera Maya and by the hands of Living Dreams Mexico you will find your ideal host!!

This incredible region including Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and its surrounding areas has always been known for its openness to diversity, whether it is different nationalities, cultural backgrounds or sexual orientation and gender expression.

Many travelers do not know how advanced is Mexico regarding the rights of the LGBTQ community, for example: In June 2015, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage bans are unconstitutional, so now it is legal in all 32 states, with the same rights as any straight couple, including adoption! Granted some rural areas of Mexico are still struggling to be more accepting, however, if we could go back in time, you would realize that to most of our ancient cultures, like the Maya, a different sexual orientation was perfectly accepted, in many cases celebrated and considered sacred!!

Immerse yourself into this amazing facts, ruins, cenotes, culture, snorkeling while staying in the Region and allow us to prove to you why we are the number one tour operator for private expeditions in all the Riviera Maya, basically let us show you that LOVEISLOVE.

In LIVING DREAMS MEXICO we have always valued and respected diversity, our own team is the proof of it!! Let us be the experts to make your dreams with your loved one and family come true!!!
