CANCUN

TRAVEL TIPS

for first-timers

1

Don’t Spend All Your Vacation at the Beach

I recommend creating an itinerary that involves beach time, but also time spent exploiting the city and its surroundings.

2

VISIT MAYAN RUINS

Not only are these ruins pretty impressive, but they also act as a gateway to the Yucatan Peninsula’s past as a Mayan civilization.

3

AVOID THE HURRICANE SEASON

Cancun is located in a region prone to hurricanes, especially between June and November. Hurricane seasons may bring heavy rains and strong winds, which is the perfect recipe to ruin a trip!

4

bring bottled water

Tap water in Cancun isn’t safe to drink, so you will need to buy bottled water in order to stay hydrated.

5

take a day trip to tulum

Tulum is a beautiful beach town located about an hour and a half south of Cancun. It’s known for its stunning white sand beaches, crystal-clear water, and the well-preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan city.

6

visit cenotes

Cenotes are natural swimming holes that are unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. There are thousands of them all over the region, and many of them are easily accessible from Cancun.
