Things To Do In Cancun, Mexico - My Favorite 3

So you have booked your trip to Cancun, Mexico. So what are the top three things to do in Cancun? Cancun is the ultimate travel destination for North Americans seeking sun, fun, and a relaxing holiday. While there are a vast variety of activities and things to do in Cancun, I have selected top 3 of my personal favorites based on multiple visits to Cancun. An expanded list would also include eco parks.

Tour Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza was one of the Mayan’s most important cities, as is evident by the large number of monuments, including the famous pyramid and the largest ball court in the Mayan World. Legend holds that the losers in the game played in this ball court were sacrificed to gods. Chichen Itza is the located 2.5 hours outside Cancun. It can be reached on a day trip via bus tours or by car. If you rent a car, consider traveling on the free road, which goes through little touched Mayan country. You can stop along the way and visit the Mayan where they live, and see the way they live. A word of caution: Chichen Itza is a very hot place, so carry plenty of water, enough to drink and splash on yourself.

Snorkel in Cenotes

Cenotes are cave openings to the underground rivers of the Yucatan Peninsula. The maximum depth reached is 50 feet, with great visibility, typically little current, and fresh water. Cenotes were essential to life as they were the only source of water and revered, cenotes were believed to be gateways to heavens. At Chichen Itza (see above), various objects were sacrificed and thrown into the sacred well, including jewelry and, sometimes, humans.

There are some cenotes around Cancun, for example, Cenote Azul, which you can visit on a day trip, and is a delightful place with an overhang from which people can jump into the fresh clear pool below. You can also join tours or hire guides to reach more remote cenotes or to do cave diving. Cenotes are unique to Yucatan and are found in no other place in the world, so seek them out.
