Cancun Mexico

Cancun Mexico posts cover the resort city on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan, planned in the 1970s as Mexico’s first purpose-built tourism destination. Articles look at the difference between the Hotel Zone strip on the lagoon and the older downtown of Ciudad Cancun, the all-inclusive resort model that dominates the strip, the trips out to Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba, the snorkelling at the underwater MUSA museum, the transfers from CUN airport and the long debate over the spring break crowd. There are also notes on hurricane risk between June and November and on safer travel inside the tourist corridor.
