Cancun is a city in the southeastern tip of Mexico. It is known for its white-sanded beaches and crystal waters. Since the 70s, it has become increasingly popular among tourists all around the world. Besides, enjoying its magnificent beaches, it is the perfect place for tourists to explore the Yucatan Peninsula. Below, you will find some tips that will be of great help in your Cancun visit.
Weather
Cancun’s temperature is nice all year long, averaging between 78 and 80 °F. As far as the weather, it can rain sometimes during summer, but there are plenty of fun activities to do, even when it is raining.
Transportation
When in Cancun, there is no need to rent a car. It has an effective public transportation system that connects the hotel zone with the rest of the city. Additionally, there are tours to visit the ruins and other archaeological sites in the Yucatan Peninsula. You can make your reservation online or you can talk to your travel agent to help you coordinate this. If you want to rent a car, you can do so too. It is not very expensive, and it will give you the freedom to move around however you like.
What to Wear
As you could have imagined, be sure to take several shorts, sandals and some t-shirts so you can feel comfortable at the beach. Additionally, if you’re planning to explore the archaeological sites, take comfortable shoes that you can walk with. You won’t want to walk through the jungle barefooted or wearing sandals.
Food
This is, for many, one of Cancun’s main attractions. There is a wide variety of food options to choose from, starting from typical Mexican food to American staples such as burgers or hot dogs. Also, you can find low-price as well as high-price and elegant restaurants. If you want to fully experience Cancun’s typical gastronomy, while staying on a budget, we recommend you go to downtown, on the Yaxchilan or Tulum Avenues.
