You can dive and snorkel the Great Mesoamerican Reef all year round. As one of the world’s largest reef systems, it extends along the nearby coast, providing a habitat for thousands of species of marine creatures.
Cancun’s ecological parks feature nature trails, bike rides, and adventure circuits in the middle of a lush jungle, attracting families looking for an action-packed vacation. This Mexican coastal city is home to family outings that will keep children of all ages – and their parents – active and happy.
