Top 5 Reasons to visit Cancun

Long before Columbus set sail for the New World, the savvy Maya built a mighty empire on these scenic Caribbean shores. They disappeared mysteriously, leaving only traces of their imperial existence.

Centuries later, clever entrepreneurs reclaimed the abandoned civilization from the jungle, launching one of the “hottest” vacation spots in the world. The vestiges of the lost empire combined with Mexico’s legendary warmth and hospitality have produced a world-class vacation experience.

• 1 – Getting to Cancun is a snap, thanks to a variety of daily flights from US gateways.
• 2 – You’ll find some of the best beaches in the world here, as well as amazing snorkeling. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, surpassed only by Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, is the second largest in the world and the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere.
• 3 – The area’s rich Maya heritage beckons with a host of venerable attractions such as the Museo Maya, Cancun Underwater Museum and majestic archaeological sites such as Chichén-Itzá, Cobá and Tulum.
• More than 300 activities promise entertainment for everyone. Award-winning theme parks, scuba diving, wave-running, fishing, exploring the mysterious cenotes and swimming alongside the gentle whale-sharks are just some of the options. A visit to Isla Mujeres (Island of Women) offers an opportunity to swim with dolphins, bask on soft, sandy beaches, snorkel, shop for colorful souvenirs or savor local cuisine.
