Introduction
t h e v i v i d c o l o r s of nature. An invigorating rush of recreational activities. The
unique sounds of indigenous wildlife. The auras of mystery and majesty still lingering in
historical Mayan sites. This is Cancun, a wondrous place that awakens your senses and
enlightens your soul. Situated on the coast of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, Cancun
rests along the shores of the turquoise-blue Caribbean. This southeast Mexican site was
specifically designed to be one of the world’s most vibrant tourism destinations. Offering
an endless variety of activities and amenities and surrounded by lush, expansive natural
reserves, Cancun is an idyllic vacation setting like no other.
C a n c u n Va c a t i o n P l a n n e r
introduction
of the Mexican Caribbean exists as ecological
reserves, making your Cancun visit the perfect opportunity to experience the
wonders of nature, from enchanting jungles to the world’s second largest barrier
reef. With nearly 5,000 archaeological sites in the Mexican Caribbean, Cancun
immerses you in the living history of the ancient Mayans, an extraordinary
culture whose regional influence is felt and revered to this day. The Mayan
culture is a rich part of the local folklore, which can be discovered throughout
the island, downtown and nearby Puerto Morelos in arts, cuisine, architecture
and more.
a fu ll 25 percent
Within these beautifully preserved environs and along the shores of Cancun, a
multitude of water sports and other recreations await you. Our turquoise waters
are your treasure trove for snorkeling, deep-sea diving and sportfishing. Kayak
under the stars through the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve beneath the watchful
eyes of macaws, toucans and flamingos. Feel the lure of shimmering sands as
you walk, sun and laze on Cancun’s beaches. Visit the crocodile farm in Puerto
Morelos. If your preferred form of recreation is shopping, you’ll find a worldclass experience here with nearly 2,000 shops, boutiques, and stores featuring
merchandise ranging from local artisans’ crafts to haute couture.
Mayan traditions extend to Cancun’s world-class spas where traditional services
are complemented by Mayan-inspired treatments. Once you’ve pampered your
body and soul at these remarkable facilities, treat yourself to extraordinary
cuisine from every corner of the globe, found in the many restaurants and
eateries on the island. If golf ’s your game, you’ll find the perfect challenge on
Cancun’s many championship courses. Some of the game’s greatest names have
brought their experience and talent to the design of these superb links.
As the evening turns to night, take your turn on the dance floor in a variety of
discos or turn your attention to world-renowned musical acts that take to the
stage in Cancun’s lively bars.
And while these exciting activities abound in Cancun, well-deserved rest
and relaxation is just as easily discovered in over 26,000 top-quality hotel
rooms. In fact, an eclectic selection of small hotels welcomes you to the
region with traditional Mexican hospitality, exemplary service and distinctive
accommodations.
Whether you come to Cancun for the wedding of your dreams, a fun-filled
family vacation, a romantic getaway for two, or a memorable meeting, this
destination’s charming ambiance and gracious hospitality will make your stay an
unforgettable delight.

Mayan Culture
m i l l e n n i a h a v e p a s s e d since the Mayan culture thrived amongst the jungles
and shores of modern-day Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula. A highly intelligent
civilization with precise understanding of agriculture, astronomy, and math, the Mayans
devised a complex hieroglyphic alphabet, charted paths of the moon and stars, invented the
number “zero” for mathematical use and developed a calendar system that’s more accurate
than the one we use today.
C a n c u n Va c a t i o n P l a n n e r
m aya n c u lt u r e
were one of only two peoples to develop and sustain an urban
culture in a rainforest setting. But Mayan cities were not cities in the modern
sense. Because this ancient culture was so strongly devoted to its religion, the
urban centers they built consisted primarily of massive temples and monuments
used in worship for their gods. These urban centers were barely habitable
because, as lush as rainforests are, the free-growing vegetation and other flora
sap the soil of nutrients, making it extremely poor agricultural land.
t h e m aya s
As a result, the Mayans’ ceremonial centers served a population that was
dispersed in the surrounding areas. In fact, it is estimated that during the classic
period of Mayan culture, the population was less than 30 people per square
mile. With so few people available for labor, the construction of Mayan temples
and monuments is even more impressive.
Vestiges of these holy structures are still standing in Cancun, preserved by dense
jungles and rainforests. Operating companies offer certified guides to help you
find and enjoy these remarkable sites. Most tours include visits to the colonial
city of Valladolid, sacrificial sinkholes and an archaeological site and provide an
opportunity to witness a Mayan ceremony as well.
In El Meco, just five km from Cancun, a pyramid dubbed El Castillo (The
Castle), features fans symbols of commerce encrusted on its facades, to
mark its significance as a commercial center. In the hotel zone, the monuments
of El Rey were erected, and vestiges of brightly colored mural painting remain.
Archaeological wonder even extends to Cancun’s golf courses. On the course
called “Pok ta Pok,” golfers encounter an isolated temple.
1 0 C a n c u n Va c a t i o n P l a n n e r
The ancient city looming above five lagoons, Coba is 101.5 miles from Cancun
and is made up of various Mayan communities. In its era, Coba extended
over 70 square miles. Nohoch Mul, the tallest pyramid on the north of the
peninsula, still stands and offers seemingly infinite views over the jungle.
The recently discovered Ek-Balam was once a sacred center and seat of power.
Located 90 miles from Cancun, the walled city is just beginning to reveal its
secrets through its buildings, temples and palaces.
Just 82 miles south of Cancun, the cliff-side city of Tulum is among Mexico’s
most-visited Mayan ruins. The walled city’s remaining castle and temple are
decorated with figures of the god descending and overlook the vast turquoise
ocean.
Local residents take great pride in this powerful, storied Mayan heritage which
dates back to 1500 BC, and its influence on modern-day Cancun is apparent
everywhere you look, from art and architecture to spa indulgences and cuisine.

Ecotourism
& Adventure
exist everywhere in Cancun, as
the surrounding ecotourism and adventure lets you experience and commune with nature
like no place else. In fact, natural pursuits alone draw thousands of visitors to Cancun
each year. That’s no coincidence. From the early days of its development, Cancun has been
designed to keep intact natural treasures and resources. Because these jungles, waters,
reefs and habitats are impeccably preserved and maintained and because use of them is
carefully regulated they remain available for exploration.

ecotourism and adventure
to leading ecoarchaeological parks where nature and
recreation blend seamlessly. Xcaret offers more than 25 attractions, including a
Mayan village and river, an underground river, coral reef aquarium, snorkeling
inlet and tropical jungle path. At Xel-Ha, the world’s largest natural aquarium,
you can swim with dolphins, rent Sea Treks, dive, ride the jungle train and
more, all in a collection of coves, lagoons, sinkholes and caves. Set atop a cliff at
the edge of a small bay, Garrafon gives you the opportunity to snorkel or dive
on a natural reef more than 300 meters long, visit the Mayan temple of goddess
Ixchel or stroll through the sculptural garden at South point.
cancun is home
And dramatic environs set the stage for your experience. Explore a fascinating
underground river system. Search mysterious caves. Brave a mystic jungle
sprawling over undetected ancient cities. Tiptoe around the world’s largest
natural sinkholes known to locals as “cenotes.” Glide from jungle tree to jungle
tree via a zip line that suspends you over rivers, streams, foliage and cenotes.
Getting in touch with Cancun’s wild side is easy when in the midst of
Caribbean wildlife. You’ll encounter howler monkeys, flamingos, and mot-mots
(clock birds). Macaws, toucans and other gloriously colored exotic birds call to
you from a verdant tree canopy.
In the turquoise waters off Cancun, you’ll swim with dolphins and, perhaps,
catch a rare glimpse of a whale shark. Submerge yourself in the vibrant marine
life of the Great Mesoamerican Reef, teeming with prismatic plant and
animal species that thrive in these waters. Or dive into a different world at
the acclaimed archipelago formed by Holbox, Contoy, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel
Islands and the Chinchorro Banks.
Come discover these world-renowned ecoarchaeological parks and nature
reserves. Kayak under the sun and stars. Seek peaceful manatees in calm river
waters. Hike florid paths blooming with bromeliads.
All of Cancun’s natural wonders are yours to experience.

Cancun Golf
fa i r w ay s h av e n e v e r s e e m e d s o fa i r .
Greens? Never as green.
The game of golf? Never more imposing and poetic.
In Cancun, some of the world’s most renowned golf course designers have teamed up with
the surrounding lush nature and created a selection of nine legendary courses, with four
more on the way. Cancun course designs have come from some of the game’s greatest names,
including Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Robert Von Hagge, Isao Aoki, Greg
Norman, Tom Weiskopf, P.B. Dye, Tom Fazio and Nick Price.
2 6 C a n c u n Va c a t i o n P l a n n e r
While some courses are built around historical Mayan temples, modern
conveniences and design features are incorporated into every course to ensure
that players of all levels are ready for the challenge. In fact, golf courses in the
Mexican Caribbean meet the highest standards set by professional tournaments
and expert golfers. And from the pro shop to the 19th hole, you can take
advantage of familiar golfing amenities such as club, shoe and cart rental,
practice areas, putting greens, course assistants, and lessons or clinics from
club pros.

• I f you like seafood, you must try ceviche, a tropical Mexican specialty
featuring fish or seafood such as shrimp, octopus or shellfish, with finely
chopped onion, cilantro and tomato. Chili pepper and avocado are added,
and all the ingredients are bathed in fresh lemon juice, resulting in an
incomparable explosion of flavors.
• D
rink like the locals and order Xtabentun after your meal. This local liquor
is prepared by fermenting anise and honey with an infusion of fine herbs.
• B
rave the habanero chile. This mild-looking yellow pepper is fire-hot
but serves as an excellent condiment to some of Mexico’s finest culinary
delicacies.
• R
emember to tip your servers as gratuities are not included in food and
beverage prices. Depending on the quality of service, tips are customarily
between 10 and 20 percent of the total bill.

Romance
is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, worthy of a one-of-a-kind
celebration. For those who’ve already said their vows, Cancun is the perfect locale for
honeymoons, anniversaries and romantic getaways. For weddings, Cancun offers a
seemingly endless array of majestic locations for those ready to say, “I do.”
your romance
Walk down the “isle” flanked by an ancient Mayan village. Exchange vows aboard a
charming theme boat. Set your intimate ceremony in a lush tropical garden or small
boutique hotel on the coast. Invite hundreds and host them in a world-class resort’s elegant
ballroom or modern convention center. Say your vows in an ecoarchaeological park, such as
Xcaret which offers a small wedding chapel.
Your civil or religious ceremony may include an elegant banquet or a candlelit dinner on the
beach. You may even choose a traditional Mexican wedding, complete with mariachis, or an
enchanting Mayan ceremony.

puerto morelos
Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos is another highly
recommended stop while touring the Mexican Caribbean.
l o c at e d 3 5 k m f r o m c a n c u n ,
A laid-back atmosphere characterizes this friendly fishermen’s village.
The old lighthouse is a symbol that represents very well Puerto Morelos’ bohemian and
tranquil taste that bestows a special magic on visitors and residents, be it natives or people
from all over the world that have made it their home after being seduced by its natural
beauty and the many attractions it has to offer.
Puerto Morelos has a wide variety of guesthouses, bed and breakfast facilities, villas, condos
and hotels that range from modest to deluxe and all-inclusive categories.
When in Puerto Morelos, you can spoil yourself with any of the exotic spa treatments, take
a snorkeling or scuba diving trip to the National Marine Park and admire the coral reefs
in the transparency of the Caribbean waters. A fishing trip is also offered for those fond of
this sport. And for adventure lovers there are many ecotourism excursions and activities to
explore the jungle and appreciate the wild life.
Food is another great experience at any of the specialty restaurants or popular cafes and
diners where people meet to savor their meals, the evening warmth and the delightful
colors of the sunset.
Puerto Morelos has it all; it is certainly an enchanting retreat nobody should miss.

are found here. Cancun is renowned for dynamic meetings, conventions and
incentives. More than 20 hotels offer meeting space and an experienced cadre
of vendors and service providers are on hand to ensure event success.
