What to do and see in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo: The Best Museums
Playa del Carmen is one of the top diving destinations in the world, thanks to vibrant sea life and dazzling underwater caverns. On dry land, Playa is a hipper and more modern version of the fishing village it once was. Spend some quality time on the golf course or wave hello to the playful spider monkeys at The Jungle Place sanctuary. Explore the ancient ruins of the Coba Mayan Village, or get in some quality people-watching as you shop and stroll along 5th Avenue.

This is a store that can't be missed! After streets of floresent lighted 'hallways' of silver junk, we came across this lovely boutique store with a warm and welcoming staff who allowed us to browse the gorgeous one of a kind pieces without any pressure to buy, as in other places. Veronica has made a magical place to display her fine pieces of art just off the madness of 5th Avenue in a peaceful and refreshing collection. I cannot recommend it enough. Although this shop has been here for years, this was my first time to enjoy these works of art. We will be back for more gifts to take home with us!

Great little shop for Mexican jewelry! Every piece is outstandingly beautiful and unique. The sales rep Monica was beyond patient and kind. She allowed me to try on things without being pushy. I definitely would recommend her. I made several purchases when she was in the store. Unfortunately one of those days someone else was in I think his name was Gregorio. He was rather rude and patronizing when answering one of my questions. I left the store in a bad mood and decided to return when he wasn’t there. Don’t let this stop you as Monica is a gem amongst the gems!

I had been looking for alebrijes (the colorful, carved wooden animals), Otomi pillow covers, and other local (Mexican) art and crafts that were high caliber but didn't cost an arm and a leg. This small shop had those things *and more*! I did almost all of my shopping here. Love the shop, and will visit there again when I'm in Playa.

Overall Ratings

Art Gallery in La Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen for 11 years and over 20 years in the Mayan Riviera. Born from the need of giving tourist access to the city’s incredible art and cultural life. Started as Gastón Charó’s studio to then evolve into a place where to expose art and all it’s different ramifications: from sculptures to paintings, photographs, jewellery and much more. Gastón Charó Gallery is the perfect expression of the concept of art being a universal language that goes beyond every country’s borders to unify people in the expression of the self through art. Exposing mainly Gastón Charó’s work which depicts an exotic combination of cubism, surrealism and expressionism. The art gallery also exhibits several national and international local artist offering a wide variety of styles and techniques in order to satisfy every person’s need.

We love bringing back on our trips to Mexico art for our home. We were lucky to come across Gastón’s gallery. While he displays art from various artists, his work is truly amazing. We had our piece shipped back and it arrived perfectly so don’t worry about it, and be sure to take home a true piece of art.
