Can-cun You Believe There’s So Much to Do

On the Other Sand: One of Cancun’s crowning jewels (beyond the easy access to boatloads of tequila) are its incredible white-sand beaches. Playa Tortugas offers swimmable, turquoise waters, and is popular with tourists. Playa Delfines is a touch less crowded, but the waters tend to get rough, so keep to the sand. Or skip the traditional beach completely and seek out one of the almost 7,000 cenotes in the area. These natural pools are created from collapsed limestone and are filled with varying shades of sparkling water, just ready for you to hop in.

Go Wild, Naturally: Things tend to get a little wild around here, and not just at your cheap hotel in Cancun. There are tons of ways to get up close and personal with wildlife, starting with one of the biggest—snorkeling with whale sharks. These big guys like to hang out in the warm waters around Isla Mujeres, and you can book a tour to swim with the fishes. Safely, of course. If you’d rather keep it landlocked, take a horseback tour through the Yucatan Jungle. Some tours even include a cool-off sesh at one of those gorgeous cenotes. Look at you, leading a horse to water on your getaway.

Go Even Wilder: There are some major must-dos when it comes to planning a Cancun visit, and dipping a toe into the sizzling nightlife scene is on that list. Night clubs here come with a show—acrobats and rotating dance floors are involved—so going out to super-spots like Coco Bongo and Dady’O is a one-of-a-kind experience in touristy fun after dark. If you want to do things a little more low-key, you can find tequila tastings to sip some good stuff or visit Restaurante La Destileria’s tequila museum to learn about the distilling and history before you taste. Learning has never been so buzzy.

Histor-see the Sites: History buffs will find plenty to peruse with a visit to Cancun. One of the most popular attractions in the area is the ruins of the pyramid-like El Castillo at the Mayan archaeological site Chichen Itza. The ruins are about 2.5 hours away, and are super busy with tourists, so if you want to keep it closer to your nice hotel in Cancun, take a quick trek to the El Rey Ruins. The site is much smaller, easily accessible, and comes with an added bonus—hundreds of iguanas. Doing it for the iguana-gram, level 1,000.
