The Mexican resort city of Cancun is located in the peninsula of Yucatan, right in front of the Caribbean Sea. Once the center of the flourishing Mayan empire, it is renown for its incredible coastlines in its proximities to the second largest barrier reef.
Once a fishing village, now millions of visitors come each year to pay homage to the Yucatan peninsula sand, Cancun beaches have unique sand, no matter how hot the weather, the sand remains cool; we locals call it “air-conditioned sand”.

Museo Maya
Visit the newest attraction in the hotel zone, the Mayan Museum is right at the hotel strip and enjoy the thrill of the zip lines and a nice cultural growth at the museum.
Ruinas el Rey
The Mayan ruins of “El Rey” are situated is located in the 18th kilometer mark of the Boulevard Kukulkan in the hotel zone of Cancun. The visitor can enter from 8 am to 5 pm, and it's worth the visit.
Restaurants
El Galeon del Caribe is an excellent restaurant quite hidden in the hotel zone but worth it for its famous “pescadillas” even so it’s a relatively easy dish to elaborate. The pescadillas of this place have something special and its not expensive, quite folklorical location between a mangrove below of a Palapa, a place you need to visit when you come to Cancun.

Coapenitos
Located in Av. Nader #23 Manzana 13 Lote 7 Supermanzana 2, 7750 of Cancun, Quintana Roo.
This is the best taqueria without being presumptuous with all the style and flavor. It's directly in the heart of downtown Cancun and its thematic comes from “Villa Coapa” the real Mexican flavor of the biggest flavor city of the planet.
Isla Mujeres
The small touristic and fishermen island village considered a “Pueblo Magico” of Quintana Roo, offer a wide variety of tours, but if you visit this Island on your own, we definitely recommend you visit our friends at Wing Diving. They got the amazing sub wing experience there or head to the local fishermen's Hutt and the local Cooperativa de Pesca for a nice cheap boat ride. They’ll include you the food at a local spot called Playa Tiburon and not that bad buffet the huge companies offer.
MUSA or sink in the snorkel on the Musa (Museo Subacuatico de Arte) consists of life-size sculpted sculptures that change over time due they are meant for artificial reef growth.
