Spring Break > Cancun, Mexico

Cancun, Mexico

Xel-Ha Marine Park, Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is a spring break and party paradise.  It is one of the most popular destinations for spring breakers. The weather is beautiful year round for fun in the sun and the sea during the day. At night there are plenty of bars and clubs to check out like Senor Frog's, Coco Bongo, and Daddyo's.

There are two ways to do Cancun. One way is to stay at a lower priced hotel and eat at the local restaurants and bars. The other way is to go to a reasonably priced all inclusive resort where you can eat and drink (including alcohol) all you want as part of your package. Some hotels that are all inclusive, pretty inexpensive and in the middle of the action are the Oasis Beach and the Hotetur Beach Paradise.

Away from the partying, be sure to see the Mayan ruins in the area. The Yuccatan was home to a great civilization hundres of years ago and they have left behind incredible pyramids and buildings behind.

Chichen Itza is the most well known site in the area and covers almost 3 square miles. The Pyramid of Kukulcan is in the center and you can take on the challenge of climbing it. The site is home to many temples, palaces, markets and ballcourts.

Tulum is also a popular area of Mayan ruins. These ruins are right on the coast and were used as a fort to defend against invasion. There are many buildings here, some of which have murals on the interior.

Another day trip from Cancun is the eco-archaeological park of Xcaret. here you can relax, swim, snorkel, see lots of flora and fauna and even snorkel through a series of underground caves with some big fish. It is a beautiful area with lots to see and do.
