  Walk under a native green vault on one of the most emblematic stretches of Playa del Carmen. We start on foot along the charming 38th Street, renowned for its tranquil atmosphere and distinctive tree canopy that form a natural tunnel over the road. This tour is designed for you to take a close look at the richness of the local flora that gives identity to the city. Throughout the walk, your interpretive guide will introduce you to the most representative native species — some several decades old — explaining their ecological importance, their traditional uses and the role they play in the urban microclimate. You will identify trees such as chit, young ceiba, chit palm and other coastal species that thrive in the chalky soil characteristic of the region.
