<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>Take a ferry to Isla Mujeres, \nIsla Mujeres was our favorite thing about Cancun. It is an island located only 13 kilometers from the city. Its paradisiacal beaches are the best known of this Caribbean island: crystalline and shallow, ideal to enjoy with the little ones. In Isla Mujeres there are many hotels, although the most common is to go on a day trip from Cancun. The beaches are very nice but there is very little space on the sand because they are occupied by hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Swimming at Caracol Beach\nThis is one of the best beaches in Cancun. Although as we said, we didn't find them to be anything special. Playa Caracol is one of the beaches with the most beautiful water color, although there is very little space on the sand and it is surrounded by hotels. Still, if you have your hotel nearby, you can go for a dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Take a picture with the sign of Cancun at Playa Delfines\nYou can't leave Cancun without taking a picture of the colorful sign with the Cancun letters. It is located at Playa Delfines, although there is also another one at Playa Langosta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Explore Cancun's Hotel Zone, something curious to do in Cancun.\nCancun reminded us a lot of Las Vegas: a very artificial city where hotels are its main attraction. The city is divided into two areas: Downtown, where most of the locals live and the main business area, and the Hotel Zone, purely touristy. One of the most curious things to do is to get lost in the Hotel Zone and be amazed by the mega hotels you will find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Buy some souvenirs at Mercado 28\nCancun has a lot of spectacular shopping malls. However, they are in stark contrast to Mercado 28, a handicrafts market where you can find all kinds of souvenirs. Just don't get the first price, bargain! We think it is one of the most interesting things to see in Cancun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Fill up on tacos at Taqueria Coape\u00f1itos, one of the best things to do in Cancun.\nMexican food is one of the most popular in the world. And tacos are perhaps its star dish. If you want to eat one of the best tacos in Cancun, we recommend you to go to Taqueria Coape\u00f1itos. It is located in Downtown Cancun, near the Palapas Park. It is also very good value for money, highly recommended!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Coco Bongo is by far the most famous nightclub in Cancun and is definitely a must on your vacation. Amazing acrobatic shows, celebrity impersonators, unlimited drinks and music for all tastes makes Coco Bongo the best disco in Cancun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Spend a few days in Isla Holbox, one of the best excursions to do in Cancun.\nThis island is one of the most beautiful in Mexico. It has a very interesting alternative vibe that reminded us of the Gili Islands in Indonesia. If you like nature, you will never want to leave Isla Holbox. It has many kilometers of secluded beaches where you will be away from the hotels and surrounded by vegetation and wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can book a day trip to Holbox<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Enjoy a lot of bird watching at Isla Contoy\nNear Cancun you can visit Isla Contoy, a real paradise for birdwatchers. In fact, it is known as the Island of Birds. There live more than 100 species of birds, sea turtles and a lot of biodiversity. Specifically, the island is home to the second largest reef in the world, known as Ixlach\u00e9, so it is also an ideal place for diving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a Protected Natural Park, so only 200 tourists a day are allowed to enter and must follow strict rules to help conservation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good way to visit it is is to combine an excursion with Isla Mujeres<\/strong><\/a>, as they are close to each other. Undoubtedly, one of the best excursions to do in Cancun. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Downtown Cancun\nCancun is artificial, but especially the hotel zone. It is like a theme park on the fringes of the real Mexican city where only tourists sleep. If you want to know more about the local culture and see the day to day life of the locals, we advise you to go to downtown Cancun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulum Avenue is the main artery of this part of town. There you will find parks, local stores, small markets and lots of taco stands. We think it is an interesting visit to make in Cancun to get to know the real side of the city.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of blist.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1],"tags":[15,16,21],"class_list":["post-1314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-uncategorized","tag-metal","tag-mining","tag-polymer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1314"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6373,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314\/revisions\/6373"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atrapatourmexico.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
