What to do in Cancun
The main attraction, of course, is the beautiful paradise beaches. Some of the best known are: Tortugas beach, Delfines beach, Punta Cancun beach and Linda beach. All of them offer infrastructure to receive tourists with quality and various activities.
A very common trip is to sail along the coast of the city and visit the islands of Contoy or Mujeres. These destinations have secluded beaches and beautiful landscapes.
Another widely publicized and practiced activity is diving and snorkeling. Marine life in Cancun is abundant, with beautiful colorful reefs, shipwrecks and even whale sharks. An experience that is worth it!
Finally, anyone traveling to Cancún needs to pay a visit to the Mayan ruins in the region. The main and most famous city is Chichen Itza, dating from the 7th century, where there are pyramids and temples so well preserved that make it the largest archaeological site of the Mayan civilization in the Yucatan Peninsula!

Where to stay in Cancun
Cancun offers a wide and diverse hotel network to suit different types of travelers. Our recommendation is to stay in the hotel zone, preferably at the end of the hotel street and at the beginning of the street that goes to the center. Most of the restaurants, clubs and malls are located there.
Remembering that the rainy and hurricane season starts on June 1st and goes until November 30th. This does not mean that there are hurricanes and rain every day, but that there is a possibility, and for that reason prices are lower.
