Cancun Travel Agent Advisor

The Stunning Cancun

Cancun is a place of beauty, architecture, beaches & relaxation. There's tons of water activities to do, and is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world. Stunning surroundings, and is an excellent area for the food lover. Fresh seafood and amazing authentic tacos. Cancun is the ultimate place to relax & let go.  One place that I loved seeing was the Chichen Itza,  it's a beautiful archaeological site, a Meso-American like pyramid created by the Mayans in 600-900 AD. It's a stunning site & piece of History that's fascinating to see. I loved seeing this. I'd recommend bringing a camera you'll want photos of this adventure.

One of the things I enjoyed was Swimming with Whale Sharks is something amazing to do, if your looking to mix adventure with some marine life thrill. You can find them all around the area, and the season for these sharks is May-late September. It's the largest fish in the sea and only feeds on plankton, so it's a beautiful gentle giant. I am not the best swimmer but, I was lucky enough to see a Whale Shark. Another fun activity, you can do is go on a Catamaran.  When you are in Cancun you can get a boat tour around the area, even down to the gulf of Mexico, and you can explore the area or even take a sunset cruise, or even go Parasailing & see the panoramic views from up high of the surrounding area. It's quite the thrill. You can Kayak in the area as well. I enjoyed a bit of kayaking, where it was just me and the water. It was quite peaceful. There is the island Isla Mujeres also known as the island of the women, they have the best beach area in all of Mexico. You can get a golf cart to ride it around the beach area, I'd recommend doing that. If you go to the southern part of the island there is the Garrfon Natural Reef Park is where you can shop and they have that swimming with whale sharks activity if you'd like to do that. It's all quite wonderful. I also loved taking a local cooking class where I learned how to make authentic Mexican shrimp tacos. They were delicious, I go to try out my handiwork & enjoy a taste of Cancun. I found Ssuba Diving a fun activity, although I didn't get to try it here, it's always an option for those who love it & want to try it. Scuba Diving  is typically in season from November - April and is the best time to dive. You can get your PADI there, which is a scuba diving certification, & you can also take guided underwater tours. Cancun is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world. You can snorkle, swim & surf, and even take surf lessons.  Cozumel is another island you & you can arrive by airport or take a ferry boat & check out the reefs in this area. There's bars and beach restaurants here.

The Hotel Zone - Beaches, shopping, & Nightlife is all in the hotel zone. 

 Xcaret- is a water-park.I love this part of Mexico.  It takes an hour to get here from Cancun. You can see manatee's & dolphins & even zip line into the water if you're feeling brave. Now, I watched people do this, I haven't been brave enough to try this yet. Maybe one day. There's a tall slide which you can slide right into the water you can do as well, this I found fun. There's resorts in this area as well. Cenotes: this is a beautiful like water park that requires an admission park where you can swim get snacks & drinks, & is an alternative to try if your not in a resort area. Historical sites are amazing to see there's the Tulum Archelogical Site . It's one of the most impressive & well preserved Myan ruins. It was an observation area for Astronomy.Coba is another impressive archaeological site created by the Mayans. largest connection of stone roads. This is like their own little network. Tulum Beach is beautiful to see & experience to see with the family, there's resorts here as well. You can have your own pool if staying at a resort. You can rent bikes, mopeds & motorbikes to ride around the area.

The food in the area is like no other. Tasty & cheesy.You can get fresh coconut juice, shrimp tacos, they have tons of Mexican food to try. Peter's Restaurant in downtown Cancun is a family owned restaurant offers an intimate dining experience The Seafood Fettuccine & Key Lime Pie are amazing! Reservations are a must, since they only have 8 tables. They treat you like family there. The Cenacolo offers wonderful Italian Cuisine, located on the Boulevard Kukulcan in the LA Eurpea Building Zona Hotelera, they have succulent fresh catch seafood and is a worth while indulgence, please make reservations in advance for the best seating. El Oasis Mariscos in Cancun specializes in seafood dishes & has a wonderful family friendly atmosphere with indoor & outdoor dining. Their Margerita's are amazing. 

Then there's Mercado 28 where you can find authentic street food. It's a local hub & market from everything grocery, & keepsakes you can find it all here. Don't be afraid to negotiate here on prices. Street vendors can work with you. 

I loved Cancun, it's amazing & I hope you love it too!
