Riviera Maya, Mexico - The world famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders recently enjoyed the sun and surf of the beaches of the Riviera Maya, the tourism district on the eastern portion of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

The 2013 calendar marks the third consecutive year that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have chosen Mexico's beaches for the production of their world famous promotional tool, the last two were done in the Banderas Bay area.

During their time in the Riviera Maya, the 29 cheerleaders recorded two programs which will be broadcast on national television as well as local television stations in Dallas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

The cheerleaders were just some of the more than 562,000 foreign tourists who visited Mexico's sun and beach destinations over the recent Spring Break period, according to Mexico's Ministry of Tourism. This figure includes nearly 77,000 spring breakers which marks a 7.2 percent increase in spring breakers over last year.
