Nestled on a picturesque spit of sand in the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Cancun has been Mexico's premier resort destination for the past decade. Cancun's scenery resembles a desktop wallpaper that lifts people's spirits during tough weekdays. Here, palm-lined beaches stretch for miles, and traditional "huts"-bungalows made of reed sit next to gleaming white hotels. It is as if the city was created for a complete escape from reality, for a perfect vacation. A variety of his extraordinary experience will help tours of Cancun. The prices of trips with local guides are very low for the wonders that will be opened to travelers on excursions.
There is only one attraction close to the city – the archaeological site of El Rey, the ruins of an ancient Indian city. On this tour in Cancun, you will be "on the doorstep" of the Mayan civilization, which left great architectural monuments in Mexico. A few hours from Cancun is the unique Mayan coastal city of Tulum. Mexico is proud of this historic site with pagan temples in excellent condition. A little further away, but also within reach of the resort, is the famous Chichen Itza, the sacred Mayan city. Its temples, pyramids and observatory, so unfamiliar to the European eye, are not without reason among the new wonders of the world.
The only thing older and more amazing than the Mayan civilization in Mexico is nature. There is one of the largest coral reefs in the world and one of the longest underwater caves – San Actún. The most famous inhabitants of these places – turtles, seabirds and huge but harmless whale sharks. All of them can be seen while exploring the neighboring islands – Cosumel, Isla Mujeres – and diving in the underwater world of the Atlantic.
