Gone are the days when Google Maps was only used to learn the location of a specific country or city. The maps app has fast become a navigation tool, with plenty of traffic information and convenient for businesses to make themselves available. When it comes to travel, however, Street View, by Google Maps, is a virtual representation of our surroundings on Google Maps, consisting of millions of panoramic images. Street View’s content comes from two sources – Google and contributors.
Revisit the Ruins of Tulum a highly recommended tour in the Riviera Maya. Explore a few steps out of Bahia Principe Grand Cayacoa to finally satisfy your curiosity and see the view from Cayo Vigia. You can even reach the summit of El Teide in Tenerife or take a virtual stroll around Isla Mujeres. And all this from the comfort of your couch. Use this app to return momentarily to your favorite Bahia Principe hotel!
Travel is possible as it is quite easy to go from one corner of the world to another with Google Street View.
