Highlights

Why diving in cenotes is one of the best experiences? Cenotes are only found in this part of the world, and this is due to the fact that the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago impacted the Yucatan Peninsula, giving rise to the formation of underground rivers with totally crystal clear water. In addition, the magical world of cenotes offers us to observe incredible ancient formations, such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and various speleothems that will make you feel like you are on another planet! Fossilized corals and animals give this experience a unique archaeological setting. The ultraviolet rays of the sun penetrate the entrances of the cave, forming amazing light effects on the water! As if all this were not enough, the Mayans gave this experience a highly mystical and magical context.

About Cancun

Cancun pairs a long ribbon of white-sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean water with Maya ruins, cenotes and islands all within easy reach.

The Hotel Zone curves along a narrow strip of land between the Caribbean and the Nichupté Lagoon, lined with resorts and beaches such as Playa Delfines, where the sand is powder-soft and the sea glows in every shade of blue. Downtown Cancun, on the mainland, is where locals eat and shop, with taquerías and evening stalls around Parque de las Palapas.

Top-ranked sights in Cancun: Chichen Itza, Tulum Archeological Site, Isla Mujeres.
