In 1967, the
Mexican government commissioned a study to pinpoint the ideal
place for an international
Caribbean resort. Cancún was chosen and a
Cinderella-like transformation began, the rest is history as they said. The most popular tourist destination in
Mexico and one of the worlds most beautiful and vibrant holiday destinations.
Cancun is most famous for its white sandy beaches, the clear blue seas and its perfect weather,
although this top
Mexican
resort does have a lot more to offer. Downtown offers a more authentic glimpse into the sights
and sounds of Mexico.
Cancun is situated near some of the country's finest historical attractions,
the unique Maya ruins on the Yucatan peninsula. Tulum is the most visited of the Maya ruins and attracts more
than 2 million visitors each year. Other attractions in Cancun include the Archeological Museum and the
interesting Caribbean Culture Festival.
Water activities are not in shot supply in Cancun and those such as water-skiing, snorkeling and diving are among
the most popular.
If you enjoy night clubs' beach parties and eating out then the restaurants in Cancun are varied and extensive and
there are more than 1000 to choose from. Some of the best Cancun restaurants are those which offer seafood and
authentic Mexican
cuisine.
