What to do and see in Cancun, Quintana Roo: The Best Outdoor Activities

December 16, 2021 Carley Gatson

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.

At the same time a new kind of adventurer was born; they are called the "aqua-riders". Become one of them, master all three activities and ride with the wind... that is... if you dare!

A Touch of Magic by Claudia

The best massages for coulples in Cancun area.

Reviewed By Steve_missy - Philadelphia, United States

My wife and I spent half a day with Claudia 2 weeks ago while visiting Cancun. Claudia's workshop was about a 40 minute ride from our resort. I could have taken a taxi, bus or hooked up with USA Transfers but instead we accepted an offer by Claudia to pick us up and drop us off in her own car. It was great immediately we got to know each other. She was even kind enough to point out great spots for us to visit and eat at that along the way to her studio. She is a wealth of information. The ride with her alone was well worth what we paid her for the transportation. I have to tell you what she charged was less than all three of the other options and so much better. Once we arrived at our studio, Claudia switched gears and started connecting spiritually to my wife and I. In a short amount of time she taught us breathing techniques and how to deal with some difficult situations life throws at us. Hopefully the lesson will strengthen our relationship. Oh, Claudia also introduced us to some tantra techniques. Again, it was an amazing experience. Beyond that lesson she then proceeded to give my wife and I an truly memorable message. It was one that we will always remember as she showed us both techniques on how to perform a mind blowing massage. At one point there were four hands on each other during each of our massages. All the time the lesson and message were tasteful, respectful, loving and beyond imagination. By the way, prior to meeting Claudia my wife was somewhat apprehensive. But believe me in no time Claudia had all of our trust and respect; we were both truly captivated. My wife said that she felt her body truly elevated. Me, I just melted away! We will be returning to to Riviera Maya November 30th. Claudia already has us penciled in for December 2nd. I guarantee you and your mate will enjoy this massage and lesson more than any you can find at any resort or spa. The massage truly connects your mind body and soul. And the best part is you share it with your mate 100%. Thank you Claudia see you soon xo

We think it is the most beautiful beach in Cancún. The water is nice and the sand is without small stones and seaweed.

Playa Langosta

Take the ferry from this beach to Isla Mujeres.

Reviewed By bXc8 - Brasilia, Brazil

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.
