CancunCancun is one of the major tourist destinations in Mexico. The city is located on a beautiful bay, along a long broad sunny beach. Nearby are many Maya sites that are easy to explore. They offer a unique insight in the precolombian civilization of Mexico. The other main attraction of Cancun consists of the possibilities to see the world under the waves. Snorkeling and diving in Cancun and nearby Cozumel are among the best of the world. The town itself is rather disappointing however and if you have not booked a room with your flight it would be better to find lodging somewhere else. The big hotel chains are focused very much on package deal groups and do not cater well to individual travelers. To see the real Mexico the best place to go to would probably be Almeria, some 2 hours driving to the west.
