THINGS TO DO IN CANCUN

Cancun is the official party capital of Mexico with excellent beachfront access to the Caribbean Sea. But there are so many more things to do in Cancun besides the beaches!

Known as the gateway to the Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun is often the first travel experience most Americans have in Mexico. In fact, up to 40% of American travelers pick Mexico for their vacation.

The beaches and nightlife here are key diversions for many Cancún vacationers. But the area also earns praise for cultural activities like Chichén Itzá and the underwater art museum on Isla Mujeres.

If there’s extra time, consider taking a day trip to nearby Tulum to see some of the best-preserved Mayan ruins in all of Mexico. Many of the city’s top guided tours include stops at the hot spots listed above.
