Cancun
About Cancun
This Mexican paradise on the Yucatan Peninsula is perfect for the traveler who likes to combine beautiful nature with fascinating culture. The Caribbean is right there inviting you to swim, snorkel and go fishing. For some real beach-holiday relaxation, take a boat trip out to fabulous Isla Mujeres, where you can snorkel off the reef and then enjoy the beach club’s facilities. Cocktails are optional.Cancun is also, of course, about the Mayan civilization. A trip to the vast pyramidal temple complex of Chichen Itza is an experience best had in the early morning before the heat gets too oppressive. If history is your thing, you’ll also need to visit the archeological zone of Coba, whose Nohoch Muul pyramid is the tallest in the Yucatan. At the walled Mayan city of Tulum, you’ll be charmed by the ruins right alongside the sapphire waters.When you’ve had enough pyramids and soothing facials, go crazy with activities such as cliff diving, rope swinging, cycling, kayaking and rope-bridge walking at Xel-Ha Eco-waterpark, which also has a truly impressive natural aquarium. Remember to bring your waterproof sunscreen!
