Cancun
Mexico is the perfect destination for beach holidays. Its Caribbean coastline is among the most popular for tourists who enjoy beautiful beaches with turquoise waters, warm temperatures, sunshine, palm trees, and an advanced infrastructure of hotels and gastronomic services that provides comfort for first-class vacations.
This time we will get in depth one of the top tourist destinations in Mexico, Cancun.
Cancun is located at the northeast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo. It has 22 km of coastline with beautiful beaches of fine white sand and crystalline blue waters, typical of the Caribbean Sea. Its proximity to Isla Mujeres allows to observe the ships that carry tourists and residents to and from this beautiful island of dreams.
Cancun was a fishing village in Mexico, with deserted and isolated beaches, and little tourism. Though the years it has became into the spectacular tourist destination that we know today thanks to a project sponsored by the National Fund for Tourism Development in Mexico, based on a trust to provide infrastructure and rebuild the paradisaical area.
Today, when discussing tourism in Mexico it stands Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Los Cabos and Acapulco. But … What makes Cancun so special?
The main difference of Cancun from other Caribbean destinations is the facilities and amenities it has to offer. Caribbean beaches are beautiful, and the temperature is ideal for beach holidays, but Cancun complements its natural conditions with advanced tourist infrastructure, accessible routes with car rental services and a commercial downtown with daytime and evening activities. The diverse and growing tourism in Cancun has led to development of gastronomic, hotel and entertainment services.
Another feature enjoyed by privileged people who travel to Cancun is security. Other Caribbean destinations are beautiful places, but it is known that security in Central America is not a strength of the tourism industry, being common to enjoy beautiful beaches but without leaving the hotels private area, or even your own hotel. Cancun is different, you can enjoy many beaches, walk along the coast, along the routes, or at the city center without any problems, almost during day or night. The security of Cancun attracts families and young couples looking for both relax and infrastructure.
Furthermore, the stunning 4 and 5 star hotels in Cancun offer “all-inclusive” services, where meals are included, and also drinks, including alcoholic ones. This peculiar feature attracts youth groups from all over the world who enjoy funny holidays on the beach, partying during day and endless nights. Cancun’s Downtown offers an exciting nightlife, with first-class nightclubs where limits are unknown.
Cancun is a complete tourist destination itself, but its surroundings present several tourist attractions in places like Playa del Carmen (70 km), Xcaret and Chichen Itza:
Playa del Carmen is another important destination to talk about tourism in Mexico, with beautiful beaches and a typical fishing village style that has evolved over the years into a fashionable tourist resort. In the next edition of our Travel Blog we will talk more about Playa del Carmen, another must-see destination in Mexico.
Xcaret was an important Mayan port and commercial center, now a protected area that operates as a theme park. If you travel to Cancun, we recommend visiting Xcaret as it offers some unique tours and excursions in underground rivers, cenotes (sinkholes) and caverns that will amaze you.
Chichen Itza is an archeological site worldwide recognized for its political and economic importance in the ancient Mayan civilization. The ruins, pyramids, temples, cenotes and legends will marvel your senses. Your trip to Cancun will be even more complete with a visit to the mysterious Chichen Itza.
These are some of the reasons why Cancun is a must-see destination for all beach lovers and those who are looking for relaxing and natural holidays in Mexico. If you are planning to travel to Cancun, we strongly recommend booking your hotel in advance.
