Cancun
Cancun is
one of the world's most exciting resorts.
Twenty years ago it was an isolated and almost desolate tropical island,
largely untouched since the decline of the mighty Mayan empire around the
13th century. Today it is a tropical paradise on the Mexican Caribbean,
hosting over a million visitors a year who come to enjoy its unspoiled
beaches, crystal-clear waters and Indian heritage.
The following are facts about Cancun:
- From ruins to riches, Cancún has it all. This city has both
natural archeological, and man-made attractions. Cancun's resort
zone is a 14 mile long slender ribbon of sand, shaped like the
number "seven."
- From continental dining, to fresh seafood and shellfish,
to traditional Mayan cuisine, Cancun offers a truly dazzling
assortment of dining options.
- If you love the white beaches, lagoons, and coral reefs then
Cancun is the place for you.
- Resort hotels, travel agencies, and tour operators in the area
can book you on day-cruise boats bound for snorkeling spots at the
barrier reef and for other diving sites within 62 miles of Cancun.
- There also is various locations to rent kayaks, boogie boards, and
inflatables.
- November and early December are the best times to go, as there are
fewer tourists and prices are low.
