Top 5 things to do

Cancun beaches in Cancún
01

Cancun beaches

Spend time on Cancún's public Caribbean beaches along the hotel zone, choosing a stretch that fits your day. The bright water and easy access make beach time worth building into the week more than once.

Museo Maya de Cancun in Cancún
02

Museo Maya de Cancun

Visit Museo Maya de Cancun for regional Maya artifacts, then continue into the adjoining San Miguelito ruins. The combination gives you museum context and an archaeological site without leaving the hotel-zone area.

Isla Mujeres in Cancún
03

Isla Mujeres

Take the ferry to Isla Mujeres for beaches, snorkeling, and an easy island day away from the hotel zone. The short change of setting gives you a different pace without a complicated overnight plan.

Cenote excursion in Cancún
04

Cenote excursion

Use a cenote excursion to swim in the Yucatan's freshwater sinkholes with a reputable operator. It adds a natural experience to the trip that feels completely different from another day on the Caribbean coast.

Chichen Itza day trip in Cancún
05

Chichen Itza day trip

Set aside a full day for Chichen Itza and its major Maya archaeological site. The excursion is a bigger commitment than most Cancún activities, but it gives your week a substantial cultural and historical stop.
