  • Isla Mujeres, Cancún

    1. Isla Mujeres

    It's very possible that 1 of 10 locals will give you a good deal. In our case, we took a recent trip to cancun and went to Isla de las Mujeres, and although fun at first, we quickly found out we were...   more
  • Cenotes, Cancún

    2. Cenotes

    We visited Ik Kil after a tour of Chichen Itza. If you have the option to do this (sometimes your tour will offer the stop), go for it! It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. I think entry...   more
  • Chichen Itza, Cancún

    3. Chichen Itza

  • Coba., Cancún

    6. Coba.

  • Jungle Tour, Cancún

    7. Jungle Tour

    It is a very long trip, but it surely deserves to be done - the ruins, the jungle, the ambiance is something that I will never forget. It is possible to do it...   more
  • Merida, Cancún

    12. Merida

    It is not a "must see", but the capital of Yucatan desserves a visit. Futhermore, Merida is a good place to stay while visiting Uxmal or Dzibilchaltun   more
