Things To Do
Explore the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza
You’ll have the opportunity to explore one of the most impressive landmarks of pre-Columbian civilization – The Temple of Kukulkan (El Castillo), a steep pyramid that towers over 30 meters tall! From observing hieroglyphics to traversing underground passages, here you’ll find plenty of activities and stories that are sure to capture your imagination.
Mayan Adventure: ATVs + Ziplines + Cenote
Feel all sorts of thrills as you tour the Cancun / Riviera Maya outback on ATVs and zip lines, and refresh in an underground cenote (freshwater sinkhole) hidden in Mexico’s most impressive jungle scenery. Go zooming through the rugged backroads aboard a single- or double-seat ATV for an adrenaline-pumping expedition through the wilderness. Feel airborne exhilaration as you take on a zip line course that will have you soaring high above the jungle canopy. Return to land — or water, rather — and have a refreshing time swimming and snorkeling through a cenote tucked away below underground caves. Refuel with a buffet lunch featuring the flavor of the region, and you’ll no doubt experience one of the best ATV adventures in the Mayan jungle!
Visit Xcaret Ecological Park
One of the best places for your group to enjoy an unforgettable excursion is Xcaret Ecological Park. This incredible theme park is packed with things to do and see including wildlife spotting with 300 species of animals, immersing in Mayan culture with daily musical shows and traditional cuisine, or taking part in water activities like snorkeling, swimming, and river-rafting.
Eat, Shop and Play in Downtown Cancun
Just a few miles from Cancun’s hotel zone is El Centro, otherwise known as downtown Cancun. Unlike the hotel zone, one can experience “real Mexico” in downtown Cancun, and see how the locals live. Downtown boasts a myriad of art and culture experience along with some live parties! There are many taquerías in downtown Cancun that offer some of the best salsa and tacos around. Some of the most popular taquerías (that even locals love) include Tacos Rigo, el Ñero and Tacos Árabes Israel. Both Mercado 23 and Mercado 28 are large, maze-like flea markets that have an abundance of handicrafts, pottery, t-shirt & souvenir shops, and Mexican restaurants. From souvenirs to last minute bathing suits or artisan goods, these shopping areas of Cancun are the best. These places are easily accessible by the R1 and R2 bus routes.
