Cancun Destination Guide

One of the world’s leading travel destinations, Cancún offers an endless array of attractions with something for everyone, for the young and young at heart. Its pearly white beaches and turquoise waters are legendary and offshore reefs provide plenty of excitement for snorkelers and divers. Water sports fans have a choice of aquatic playgrounds: the Caribbean for fishing, scuba and windsurfing and a huge lagoon for sail boating, water skiing and jungle tours. There are several championship golf courses in the local area, upscale shopping centers, fine restaurants and glittering nightlife.

Selected in the late 1960s to be the site of Mexico’s first master-planned resort, from the inauguration of its first hotels in 1974, Cancún has never looked back. It has been the powerhouse of Mexican tourism for over 30 years and it is still going strong.

Cancun is the gateway to a world of natural and historical attractions in the Riviera Maya, the neighboring state of Yucatán and the Mundo Maya or Maya World, and offers you three vacations in one. You can relax on its Caribbean beaches and explore the Mesoamerican Reef, the second longest in the world, or venture inland to discover the wonders of the ancient Mayan civilization. Finally, wherever you go, you’ll experience Mexican hospitality and get a taste of the country’s rich and colorful culture.
