All About Cancun
Plan a Cancun Vacation that’s All About the Playa
Bright white sand and achingly blue waters have been Cancun’s calling card since the 1970s, when it was still a sleepy, untouched beach town. Today, high-rises bristle like gems from El Centro, “holas” are exchanged over salt-rimmed margaritas, and nearly everything about Cancun vacations has changed--except the allure of those wave-smoothed shores-
Cancun is a place that invites not only beach days, but beach weeks. Book a stay at one of many Cancun resorts in the Hotel Zone, a 17-mile strip of beach studded with five-star resort offerings, and you can spend an entire Cancun vacation with your toes in the surf or your feet strapped to a pair of water skis. Skim the surface of Nichupte Lagoon in a catamaran or dive deep into the Caribbean, where you’ll find reefs, a sculpture garden, and a wealth of marine life.
Cancun Vacation Packages that Go Beyond the Beach
Sun and sand aren’t Cancun’s only selling points. El Centro, the city’s downtown, has grown along with the city into a bustling knot of mega malls, impressive restaurants, and sparkling hotels. At night, clubs open their doors to dancers and pour tequila ‘til the sun comes up. In the morning, cafés vend coffee and sweets to travelers arriving on early flights to Cancun.
Further out from the much-developed downtown, the pyramids of Chichen Itza put Cancun’s modern skyline in perspective. These towering Mayan remnants can be reached by bus, and have become an integral part of many Cancun vacation packages. Isla Mujeres, to Cancun’s northeast, is a great place to grab some seafood, go snorkeling, or visit with endangered sea turtles.
