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
