History fans will want to see Chichen Itza, a popular Mayan archaeological site. Nature lovers might want to visit Delphinus Dreams to swim with dolphins, or see the turtle farms on Isla Mujeres (Island of Women). There are plentiful golf courses around town if you plan to improve your game during your stay. Divers and snorkelers alike will revel in the beautiful coral reefs which are teeming with wildlife.

Hints and Tips

A beautiful and busy airport, Cancun International Airport (CUN) has direct flights to many cities in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Cancun has a tropical climate and tends to be warm year around. The easiest way to travel around Cancun is to use public transportation, commonly known as the "white bus." These buses only accept pesos, so be sure to exchange your money when you arrive.
