CITY GUIDE CANCÚN 2 017

CANCÚN Cancun is one of the most important touristic complex in México and of

the world, because of its splendid location, its template and regular

climate during all year, and its magnificent white sands and crystalline &

well-tempered waters.

Resting on the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula in the state of

Quintana Roo, Cancun was a part of the ancient Mayan civilization.

Cancun has the distinction of being the one Caribbean destination with

the infrastructure, modern amenities and service philosophy to rival

leisure destinations worldwide. Unlike many other parts of the Caribbean

and Mexico, Cancun was built for tourism. In Cancun you can find luxury

hotels, malls, restaurants and nightclubs.

GO THERE FOR

HISTORY

Cancun has an exquisite culinary tour, Delight in the best of Mexican

cooking as well as dishes prepared with the authentic recipes from a

regional cuisine to an international first class seafood Mexican cuisine.

Cancun has all types of food restaurants.

Cancun truly sparkles at night, and travelers will have a challenge

selecting their evening activities. Maybe you want to start with a margarita

or martini at one of the hotel lobby bars. Varying in style from hotel to

hotel, these lobby lounges are usually breezy, sophisticated venues –

perfect places to ease into the night – often with live music setting the

tone.

Dancing till dawn is not uncommon on a trip to Cancun. Nightclubs vary

from mostly American disco, to live jazz, to those with a Latin flavor, for

visitors who want to salsa the night away. Cancun is now home to The

City, reputed to be the largest nightclub in all of Latin America!

The history of Cancun dates back to 1967 when the Mexican government,

recognizing the importance of tourism to the country’s economic future,

began a detailed search to pinpoint ideal sites for tourism development.

Due to its near perfect weather, natural beauty and easy accessibility

from North American gateways, Cancun emerged as the government’s

top candidate. What was once a remote and tiny fishing village (of just 12

families) was cultivated into the ideal Mexican vacation spot. It capitalized

on, without compromising, the region’s natural resources.

FLEA MARKET &

SHOPPING

Also known as the Mercado 28 this is a huge flea market

situated in the heart of downtown Cancun. It is a fun place to buy

your souvenirs, Mexican handcrafts and silver jewelry at half the

price of the Hotel Zone.

RIVIERA MAYA From 100 km of Cancun. The coastline of the Mexican state of

Quintana Roo. Starting in Puerto Morelos beach in the north,

Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Puerto aventuras, Xpu-ha, Akumal,

Xel-ha, Tulum and ending in Felipe Carrillo Port. Rivera Maya

has a combination of culture, nature and relax surrounded by

white sand beaches, colored turquoise sea, rivers and cenotes,

and Mayan ancestral culture, waiting for you to visit. For more

info look for Riviera Maya City Guide.

COZUMEL An island whose beauty stretches far beyond its spectacular

shores. A world-famous dive site. A tranquil oasis, abundant with

warm welcomes around every corner. Cozumel is a destination

like no other. And you’ll just have to take our word for it.

Because it’s impossible to imagine, until you’ve been here. You

will have to take a ferry from Playa del Carmen or to arrive to

Cozumel airport. For more info look for Cozumel City Guide.

PLAYA DEL

CARMEN

Situated right in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen

is the region’s top destination for shopping, dining and nightlife.

There’s plenty to keep you occupied here, plus Playa serves as

an ideal base for exploring the rest of the Riviera Maya.

After your day at the beach, head into town and take a stroll

along the pedestrian Fifth Avenue strip, locally known as Quinta

Avenida. By day it’s packed with people browsing the shops and

boutiques; by night roving musicians entertain diners in the many

restaurants and bars.

ISLA MUJERES Isla first gained international attention for its outstanding aquatic

conditions. Clear, warm water, abundant marine life, reefs and

caves attracted Jacques Cousteau who was guided by local dive

legend Ramon Bravo. Snorkeling sites are abundant, though

those frequented by Cancun party boats can be crowded at

certain times of the day. A better choice is the area adjacent to

the airstrip, just to the south of the city. Most of Isla’s residents

live from diving and fishing. They make very hospitable hosts for

both day-trippers and overnight guests.

NICHUPTE

LAGOON

A unique “jungle tour” allows visitors to navigate the Lagoon’s

canals in their own two-seater wave-runner, as guides point out

special flora and fauna. Joggers, bicyclers, and walkers can

enjoy picture perfect mornings along our seaside and lagoonside

pathways. Many of the marinas in Cancun are now offering an

eco-adventure through the Nichupte Lagoon they have dubbed

the jungle tour.
