Cancún is Mexico's purpose-built Caribbean resort capital, a long sandbar of all-inclusive hotels with turquoise water and white sand. It's also the gateway to the Riviera Maya, the cenotes, and the Mayan ruins of Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá.

Don't miss
Swim in Cenote Dos Ojos near Tulum (2.5 hrs south) — two connected caverns with crystal-clear groundwater and stalactites lit by filtered light. Arrive at 8 am when it opens; crowds arrive after 10 am. Bring water shoes.
Visit Chichén Itzá on a Tuesday or Wednesday (never Sunday — free entry means enormous crowds). Hire a local guide at the gate rather than pre-booking a tour; they know the lesser-visited structures like the tzompantli skull rack that most groups walk past.
Take the 20-minute ferry to Isla Mujeres (MXN 200 return from Puerto Juárez, not the hotel zone) and rent a golf cart (MXN 350/hr) to reach Punta Sur at the island's southern tip — the sea views from the clifftop Maya shrine at sunset are extraordinary.
Eat at Mercado 28 in downtown Cancún (not the hotel zone) — the corridor of cochinita pibil and marquesita stalls around the market perimeter is where taxi drivers and market workers eat. A full meal with agua fresca costs under MXN 120.
