Cancun

Take in the historic Mayan ruins or a zipline tour by the sea

As one of the premiere travel destinations in Mexico, you won’t be disappointed when you decide to travel to Cancun. The city -- located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula -- is a world-class travel destination that offers fun and excitement for all types of travelers.  Set on a long, thin strip of land between the ocean and a giant lagoon, nearly any hotel you choose will have a stunning view of the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Accommodations range from elaborate five-star hotels to more affordable guesthouses -- but you can bet that no matter where you stay, you’ll be moments from dipping your toes in the sand.

Many of Cancun’s hotels offer “all-inclusive” packages that include food and drinks, meaning you won’t have to fuss over eating out for every meal. When you do want to eat out, however, take your pick among a host of restaurants offering local Mexican cuisine, to any number of international delights.  Cancun’s myriad of nightclubs are the main attraction after sunset. Get dressed in your finest and dance the night away to Latin rhythms or disco, or catch one of the many live musical acts that grace the stages on a regular basis.

When you’re ready to dive into the local culture, visit any number of Mayan ruins in the area, including Tulum, Chichen Itza or Coba. For adventurous types, book a zip line tour by the sea, try your hand at snorkeling or scuba diving, or visit one of Cancun’s many luxurious golf courses.  Airports in Cancun include the Cancun International Airport, servicing a myriad of international airlines. Because so many travelers visit Cancun every year, it’s never difficult to book a flight.
