We are right at the tip of the peninsula where the ferry rides pick up if you want to plan a day trip To escape the frantic beat of Cancún's nightlife and beaches, head to Isla Mujeres (or the Island of Women). There is little to do on this small island just 8 miles off the Yucatán Peninsula, but travelers like it that way.
Chichén Itzá is a large Mayan archaeological site and one of the most notable and recognized landmarks on the Yucatán. The site itself was originally a main hub of Mayan civilization and has since been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The focal point of the ruins is the pyramid-like El Castillo that was once used by Mayans as a temple for worship. If you take a tour, make sure to add the Ek Balam (Mayan ruin) and Cenote Maya.
If you're visiting Cancún with kids in tow, the Interactive Aquarium is worth a look. Located in the La Isla Shopping Village just west of the Hotel Zone, this family-friendly attraction takes a hands-on approach to educating visitors about local marine life. From touch tanks to dolphin swims to shark feedings, you'll get up close and personal with several underwater dwellers.
