As more and more visitors enter the city of Cancun for the upcoming holidays, a list of essential, cultural activities can be extracted from the city’s rich itinerary for tourists to follow for an unforgettable trip this holiday season, or all year round.
Cancun is divided into two parts: the Hotel Zone island with the city’s resorts and beaches, and Downtown, where the locals live. While most tourists spend most of their vacation in the Hotel Zone, Downtown Cancun is one of the most eccentric areas of the city – captivating all of its visitors through displays of local culture and delicious foods. Downtown Cancun (referred to as Ciudad Cancun) is for adventuresome tourists and demonstrates the festive culture in a social and exciting way.
Downtown Cancun is filled with great restaurants, lots of shopping and a fun community vibe, and is only a five-minute taxi ride from the entrance of the Hotel Zone.
Cenotes are natural pools that are located throughout Cancun. Cenotes deliver tourists a rich and authentic living experience through the limestone surfaces and clear flowing water, allowing visitors to take a nice dive, scuba session or a quick swim.
Of course, beaches are a must when visiting the exotic city; Cancun offers a wide range of beaches such as Playa Delfines, Playa Tortugas, Chac Mool beach, and Play forum. Each beautiful location features vibrant atmospheres and tropical waters for families and friends to relax and have a good time.
Jungle zip lining is available in many theme parks around Cancun. The zip lining experience is offered in different packages and routes, offering other fun activities to tourists.
Paddle-boarding has become the latest trend in Cancun. The fun and easy sport is open to all visitors by simply renting your own paddleboard from a local beach to explore the waves.
The exotic city offers many different activities to its visitors in order to experience an ideal vacation. With diverse opportunities and experiences, the city has remained the prime hot spot for visitors. The activities listed above are just some of the many available activities for tourists this holiday season or all year round.
