Cancun is bordered by the Caribbean sea and a tranquil lagoon, the thin 14-mile strip that once was nothing more than a sandbar has evolved into one of Mexico’s most popular resort area. The fine white sand found on Cancun’s beaches is the result of thousands of years of sea currents and wind eroding the coral to create spectacular beaches. Sun worshippers may think they have found a heaven on earth. The constant tropical breezes keep the windsurfers and parasailers on the move. Cancun’s picturesque waters are filled with the rainbow colors of natural coral reefs, astounding formations and more than 500 types of tropical fish. With near-perfect visibility, snorkeling and diving are some of the best in the world. From budget hotels to all-inclusive to top notch resorts, Cancun boasts a full range of hotels, and endless options for shopping, dining and nightlife. A favorite diversion is exploring the ruins of the ancient Maya civilization in the surroundingregion. Chichen Itza is unmistakably the most famous site in the Mayan world, it was founded in 445 BC and inhabited until 1204 AD, when it was mysteriously abandoned. The largest and most important structure in this zone is the 75-foot El Castillo pyramid. Call today to book you all-inclusive Cancun vacation.
