They made it into a world-class tourist destination due to its sun-bleached beaches and tropical weather. Mexico's National Fund for Tourism Development has spearheaded development since 1970. The initiative developed infrastructure, hotels, and an airport first. Its goal was to create a tourist paradise to boost the local economy. It was a huge success, and by the late 1970s, Cancún was booming with vacationers.

Modern Cancún

Beaches, crystal-clear oceans, and exciting nightlife spring to mind when you hear Cancún. But Cancún is more than just a beach location; it's a lively community waiting to be experienced. Step off your transportation into the city's buzz, where Mayan history coexists with modern comforts. Luxury resorts line the Hotel Zone, offering surreal beachfront views.

Venture into El Centro, where vibrant markets burst with colors, scents, and lively music, revealing Cancún's true heart. Cancún's beaches are nature's masterpieces, each with its own charm—Playa Delfines' gentle waves or Playa Tortugas' thrilling water sports activities. Savor cochinita pibil and sip a margarita as the sun sets, painting the sky with pastel colors.

Watch your drink(s) carefully at pubs and nightclubs, avoid using ATMs at night, and do not carry large quantities of cash. Keep vigilant, stay secure, and let Cancún's beauty captivate you free from worries.

Pay is pesos for convenience

Many Cancún hotels and restaurants take US Dollars and Mexican Pesos; however, beyond the tourist zone, not so much. Smaller businesses may only take pesos or cash. Local ATMs provide the best conversion rates and lowest costs. Pesos also simplify tipping. Having propinas (Spanish for tips) helps you express gratitude for outstanding service at a bar or restaurant.

Pack for all-weather

In Cancún, the weather can be erratic, ranging from bright mornings to unexpected, cool rain showers. For the heat, pack light, airy clothes; for wet days, pack a rain jacket or poncho. You can battle the sun with a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and comfy walking shoes.

Starting from $17, take advantage of meet-and-greet service at your Xcaret accommodation, air-conditioned transportation with an English-speaking driver, and free bottled water.

Taxi from Xcaret to Cancún

On paper, taxis should be quick, direct, and flexible and get you to your destination with ease. However, taxis on the Riviera Maya are known to prey on tourists, charging exorbitant prices after they get in the car. For your peace of mind, we recommend a private car service, which has upfront pricing and allows you to pay online.

Visit the Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA)

Plunge into the surreal. Not your typical museum, the Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA) is an underwater dreamscape. Imagine diving or snorkeling amid over 500 life-sized statues, each a quiet guardian in the glistening blue depths. More than just art, these haunting, exquisite statues are part of a living coral reef, fusing human ingenuity with oceanic mysteries. Feel the excitement as you navigate this watery paradise, where art and nature move in a subtle, submerged ballet.

Relax on Playa Delfines

Those craving the beach should not miss Playa Delfines. The public beach is known for its immaculate shores and tranquil waters, providing a quiet haven from the bustling hotel scene. This is a great spot to unwind, tan in the sun, and enjoy the Caribbean Sea's blue waves. You'll also find the "Cancún" sign perfect for snapping photos to cherish your travel memories.
