Cancun

There is one place on earth where white sand beaches, romantic Caribbean nights, crystal indigo seas, world-class hotels, restaurants and a thrilling nightlife come together. That place is Cancun. It’s a charming coastal city and a famous tourist resort in Quintana Roo - Mexico’s easternmost state. In fact, the list in never ending; its fishing and snorkeling vistas, archeological sites, scintillating tours, and water sports galore, supplementing the above mentioned possibilities, provide with a tourist something to get engaged with all through the 24 hrs in a day. In a nutshell, Cancun offers something, or the other to suit any frame of mind.

From a tourist point of view, the heart of all the action is the “Tourist Zone,” a 14 mile narrow island extending off the main land. The Caribbean coastal line houses some of the best hotels and condominiums, while Laguna Nichupte, a vast lagoon on the inland side of Cancun, is a shopper’s paradise and a popular entertainment center. Its restaurants and golf courses are something not to be missed if visiting Cancun. The lagoon’s two ends that open to the sea offers many water sports arenas and is the starting point of various tours to other islands.

Also, not to miss is the “Party Zone,” which is home to the discos and nightclubs. The area also has the best restaurants and extravagant shopping malls in Cancun. Even if one is not a party animal, Party Zone is worthy place to spend few hours in.

The core population of Cancun City lies in a peaceful setting. It’s a bit off the glitzy “Tourist Zone,” and this area is worth paying a visit, especially when one becomes overwhelmed by the activities in the tourist hub. Take a break and head to this area. It is a reasonable place in terms of money to live and dine.

Transportation to Cancun is mainly through air. The Cancun International Airport is connected with other parts of the world by over 190 international flights daily. But, book early to grab the cheapest chartered flight deals.
