Once a small, unremarkable fishing village, the resort of Cancun is today the reason most people visit Mexico.

Cancun is also a good base from which to explore some of the nearby attractions, particularly the ancient Mayan site of Chichén Itzá on the mainland, which is the best restored and most famous of the archaeological sites on the Yucatán Peninsula.

Shoppers can rejoice in Cancun, with a choice of seemingly endless shopping facilities, from ultra-modern malls with chic boutiques to street vendors, open-air markets and department stores.

The main reason for visiting Cancun is to take advantage of the legendary beaches with their powdery, incredibly white sand washed by the warm, turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

Offering fine cuisine through a vast assortment of international restaurants, and also possessing many luxurious hotels, a thrilling nightlife, excellent shopping at the many duty-free malls, and artisan markets where bartering is the key to a cheap price, Cancun is the place to be. This city is also the jumping off point for exploring the ancient, mysterious world of the Mayans. For nature-lovers, there is the wonder of the world’s second largest barrier reef, and numerous freshwater cenotes provide incredible snorkeling and diving. Exciting, exotic, slow or fast, diverse and fun, Cancun has something to offer everyone.
