8 days in Cancun Itinerary

Few destinations in Mexico dazzle visitors quite like Cancun, a modern resort town filled with glitzy hotels sitting on picturesque and well-developed Caribbean beaches.

Cobá Zona Arqueológica Cobá and Catedral de la Santisima Trinidad are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll explore and learn at Mayan Museum of Cancun and Galeria Balance Cancun. Change things up with these side-trips from Cancun: La Playa Xpuha (in Xpu-Ha), National Reef Park of Puerto Morelos (in Puerto Morelos) and Scuba & Snorkeling (in Playa del Carmen). There's lots more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Xcacel Beach, glide peacefully along the water with some of the best stand-up paddleboarding in the area, fly like a bird with a parasailing or paragliding tour, and pause for some serene contemplation at Parroquia de Cristo Resucitado.
