You’ve never seen these bright colors before. In Cancun is a color explosion of turquoise in the sea, light sand on the shore and lively green in the palm trees. It will seem you are in the prettiest scenario ever created, however, this is real life. It is one of the most touristic places in Mexico and you will surely understand why.
There are plenty of options for your accommodations, whether you search for a nice cozy apartment downtown or maybe a luxurious apartment by the sea, you will find your place. You will have a great time and you will start planning your next visit to the city before even leaving.
Located at the top right of the Yucatán peninsula, in the Mexican Caribbean, the city awaits you. It has its own International Airport, only 5 km away from downtown.Â
To explore the surroundings, you will find plenty of options to go to Isla Mujeres, and Cozumel, where you can snorkel and amaze yourself with the colorful sea life, where tropical fishes share their home with coral reefs, star fishes, sea turtles…
Being in the mayan territory, ancient maya ruins are a must-go. Don’t miss one of the wonders of the world, Chichen Itzá, and it’s Kukulcan temple (yes, the famous pyramid, and you will have a great profile photo there), or other cities such as Ek Balam, Cobá and Tulum, to name the main ones.
If water is your thing, another must-go are the cenotes. Or even if water isn’t your favorite, you still need to go, since cenotes are charming, only exist in Yucatan, and there are thousands of them, you will surely find one suited for you and your family. This fresh sweet water is an underground river and it shows in multiple shapes; the pond ones, the cavern ones, the lake style ones, there are some where scuba divers will find their passion, or other ones where you won’t get wet.Â
When planning a trip to Cancun you surely must go and spend your quality time by the sea. Public beaches are amazing and you will find all the services needed to devote all the time you require. You can try Playa Perlas, Langostas, Tortugas, Delfines and Chac Mol, to name the public ones. Plenty of sport activities are also available for those who prefer action: kayaking, sailing on a Catamaran or speed boat, flyboarding, windsurfing and paddle boarding in the Caribbean Sea or the Nichupte Lagoon.
Your family and friends will love the colorful souvenirs you will bring them from Cancun. If you aim for luxury brands you will be more than happy to walk over Kukulcan Boulevard, where international and local designers have their showcase. Other options are the handicraft you will find in Mercado 28, downtown. And to have the local’s full experience you might want to grab a bite at Plaza las Palapas, where food is delicious and inexpensive.Â

Nightlife will catch your eye in Cancun where shiny clubs are performing every night with the best international Djs surrounded with acrobatic performances. I bet you’ve never danced in clubs like those ones. Moreover, the fun will also follow you on Pirate boat parties or more traditional trajineras.
