Cancun, the destination everyone is talking about.
Its scenic beauty, framed by white sand beaches and turquoise sea; the extension and biodiversity of its reefs, islands, lagoons, cenotes and jungles; the ancestral richness of the Mayan culture; excellent air and land connections; and its world-class hotel infrastructure have made Cancun, Quintana Roo, one of the most famous Mexican tourist destinations worldwide and a leading city in Latin America.
Cancun was the first tourism development of the National Tourism Fund (FONATUR). After its opening in the early seventies, travelers from all latitudes immediately flocked to explore the 23 kilometers of coastline and check out the quality of its hotels (35,000 rooms), which continue to set exceptional standards of hospitality for the rest of the world.
What does Cancun have to offer?
When talking about Cancun, it is impossible not to start with its beaches, located mainly on Kukulcan Boulevard in the hotel zone. If you are traveling with children or seniors, or if you can’t swim perfectly, we recommend you to choose a hotel located between kilometers 3 and 8.5 of Isla Mujeres, which forms a natural bay known as Isla Mujeres Bay.
However, if you stay in the center of town you will find 11 public beaches such as Perlas, Langosta, Tortugas, Delfines and Chac Mool. Most have the Blue Flag that certifies coastal destinations that have excelled in water quality, environmental management and stewardship, safety, services and environmental education activities.
Inexplicable beauty that will make you fall in love
Cancun not only offers the best beaches in the world, but also exciting and fun water activities such as: scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, catamaran or speedboat rides, flyboarding, windsurfing and paddleboarding, both in the Caribbean Sea and in the Nichupté Lagoon; these huge bodies of water frame the landscape of the travel destination.
As for the gastronomic offer, Cancun offers you a gastronomic experience through the fusion of flavors of Mexican and international cuisine by the hand of the best chefs in the world. It has restaurants that have been awarded 5 diamonds by the American Automobile Association and recognized by the Michelin Guide.
You can’t vacation in Cancun and get caught up in the nightlife that flows in caves and clubs dominated by international DJs and acrobatic shows. But the fun can go further and enjoy parties aboard a pirate ship or trajinera.
If you’re looking to explore the local area, Cancun is also a gateway to other spoiled Riviera Maya destinations: Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Holbox, Isla Mujeres and Cozumel. In addition, you can visit the Mayan archeological sites of Chichen Itza, Coba and Muyil, to name a few.
How to get there: Cancun is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, in the northern part of the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico. The airport is five kilometers from the hotel zone.
