Canun

Cancun has it all... archaeological, and man-made attractions. Comprised of three distinct areas: the City of Cancun popular for shopping, dining, less expensive accommodations, the ecological reserve and the resort zone (an island).
The area's history is rich with Mayan influence. Stone temples uncovered during the resort's construction date back to the 12th century. Further inland are magnificent ancient cities and ceremonial centers. Over 200 archaeological sites, some wonderfully restored, others still shrouded with tangled jungle vegetation are scattered within a few hours drive from Cancun. The region's fascinating and friendly Mayan culture has survived despite tourism's rapid encroachment.
As for visitor facilities, Cancun offers a exotic, tropical island setting with modern comforts and conveniences. There are over 18,000 hotel rooms and some 200 restaurants.
Shopping is top notch, with over a dozen American-style shopping malls. Cancun Average TemperaturesDining options include every imaginable fast food chain along with gourmet seafood, Asian, Caribbean, American and Mexican specialties. And of course, outdoor recreation (water sports, in particular) is first rate.
Stretching 300 miles to the south along the Yucatan's eastern flank is the Tulum Corridor region. Dozens of remote coves and deserted stretches of jungle-lined white sand beach are easy to reach. There are also dozens of archaeological sites here, ranging from magnificent, fully-restored ancient cities to unexcavated, ceremonial centers.
