Cancun

Cancun, a coastal city on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is a resort city that offers amazing attractions, rich Ancient History, unique culture and stunning beaches. Peak season in this Mexican Riviera destination runs from December to April, but with a bit of shopping you can find great bargains in Cancun, the Gateway to the Mayan World. This city was engineered to cater to tourists and as a resort destination. Indeed Cancun resorts are one of the most heavily requested travel packages in the world.

45 minutes from Cancun is Playa del Carmen or Playa also in the Yucatan Peninsula. Playa is very close to some of the world’s most stunning eco-tourism attractions.

Mexico offers 25 cultural and 4 natural United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated sites. For more information about the designation, the rich heritage that Cancun and other Mexican areas offer try Susan’s travel blog on the UNESCO sites at Go Mexico
