CANCUN –

It came all together four decades ago, when Cancun was only a powdery white sand stretch of beach overlooking the stunning turquoise blue of the Mexican Caribbean, and a group of forward thinking Mexican explorers traveled to Cancun  in search of a perfect vacation spot.

3,000 years before knowing the great touristic potential of Cancun, the ancient Maya inhabited in Cancun  about until A.D 1,200. Now, Maya treasures blend with luxury hotels amidst the jungle awesome wilderness of Cancun.

Cancun, is on the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula and is divided into two zones: The Hotel Zone and Downtown, on the main land. Cancun  is an island with shape of  “7” and is joined to the mainland by two bridges. Cancun’s lovely Nichupte Lagoon   nestles in the middle of Cancun Island featuring endless fun water activities and romantic cruises crossing through the canals between the mangroves at the sunset.

Cancun was designed to be sensational. In fact, Cancun is home to up-scale hotels, a dozen of malls featuring international renowned brands’ stores, handicrafts and souvenirs saying Cancun. When the time to eat comes, Cancun is the place to satisfy every palate and budget. Self respected Mexicans start late and end early, however Cancun Restaurants are subject to tourist schedules. In Cancun the buzz never stops, there’s always something happening. You may start the day with scuba in Cancun reefs, fishing or any water sport offshore and get loose as the sun comes down in a bowling alley or turning up with the alluring night clubs that Cancun has.

There are as many ways to get around Cancun, as there are things to do. Buses, taxis, mopeds and cars for rent abound. And for the footloose, walking by the Kukulcan boulevard and the streets of Cancun is always a pleasure. Bus stops are conveniently sprinkled through the hotel zone and down town. In Cancun taxis are available 24 hours a day.

In Cancun and surrounding areas there are lots of attractions; theme parks, horseback riding, crocodile farms, ecological parks, swimming with dolphins, swimming with sharks are just few options. Cancun also welcomes children with abundance of fun for them too.
