What to do and see in Cancun, Quintana Roo: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

Welcome to Parque Maya Cancún the first natural theme park in the history of the Hotel Zone. We seek to pay tribute to the great Mayan culture by offering the visitor a tour that stages through great adventures, the main traditions of the Mayan world. This is how we introduce “culture through adventure”. A fun way to learn. And the best, without leaving the Hotel Zone.

This was a great, short excursion (10am-1:30pm or so) that I booked through my hotel. It included a short video presentation, zip lines over the water, mangrove tour on a speedboat looking at nature, a short Mayan experience and lunch (salbute, something new I haven’t tried). The day we went wasn’t too busy so it was almost a private tour the entire time. Fabián, Johnny, Juan and Captain Jesus were all attentive, friendly and made the experience more enjoyable. Recommended!

This beach is very close to the Torre Escénica, on the northern side of the hotel strip. Almost no waves, great for kids and people afraid of the sea. The beach is clean and you can access it even if you are not staying in any of the hotels around.

Lounge on the smooth, white, broad stretch of sand of this beach while gazing at the often rugged surf.

There’s always plenty of beach available to enjoy an entire day there. Plaza Kukulcan makes it a convenient public beach with easy access to a good variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices. Yes, having to rent chairs and a beach umbrella can be one downside, but waves are perfect there and beach is worth it.
