Cancun Mexico Travel Guide

Located on the east coast of the Mexican peninsula, is the sunny and beautiful seaside resort town of Cancun Mexico. A long time popular destination for family and singles alike, Cancun Mexico is a warm and friendly City that you will retain in your personal archives for years to come.

With warm sunny days and year round average days varying from highs in the eighty’s and lows in the seventies, your wardrobe attire will be as simple as shorts, tank tops and maybe one evening gown. Due to its locale, a dip in the water will be a pleasure at anywhere between seventy eight in winter months and eighty four in the summer time.

Once at your destination, Cancun offers a variety of “getting around” options, ranging from Local & Out of town buses, to taxis and of course car rentals for the independently minded. If you are attempting to get around town, local buses are reliable and available and would set you back about six to eight pesos (around 65US cents). Vacationers choosing this form of transportation need only look for buses marked “Hoteles R1” to move around the Hotel area. If your choice is shopping, keep your eye out for the R2 or R15 which will carry you to Wal-Mart.

For the adventure seekers and those wishing to see more than just the city by including a day trip on their agenda, you need to apprise yourself of the out of town bus system, which offers choices of first class, second class and luxury service, with the latter being the most advisable. If you have ever secured the services of a taxi during a visit to an island, this experience would not surprise you, however if this is your first time using a taxi service in a third world country, you might want to buckle up, close your eyes and hang on, because you are in for the ride of your life.

A major reason why many visitors choose Cancun as a vacation and fun spot is its beaches and they are beautiful. With both public and private beaches available, depending of your travel arrangements, your days (and some nights) will be chocked full of the three SSS, sea and salt and sun. If you are not partial to rubbing shoulders with the other tourists and the locals, you may wish to stay away from the public beaches, as they will be crowded, and make arrangements at the hotel strip, especially during peak season.

Unless your intention when planning your vacation to Cancun is just to lay around, read a book and get a tan, you will be in for a treat, because there are many activities available to ensure that your vacation will be memorable. Start filling your agenda with Boat excursions to Contoy island, or sail on a Catamaran to Cardona Reef. If it is partying you have on your mind, like many that visit Cancun, a cruise with either Caribbean Carnival, Captain Hook or Pirate Assault will set the atmosphere with Caribbean drinks, reveling and lots of entertainment. If all that drinking and partying is too much for you, but yours is a preference for catching the big one, an adventure in night fishing is just what the doctor ordered, with the possibilities of sharks, snapper or grouper.
