Downtown Cancun: Bullfight at the Plaza de Toros
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bullfight at Plaza de Toros - Cancún
    Bullfight at Plaza de Toros
    by GinGinCoo

    Every Wednesday at 3:30 the Plaza de Toros (Bullring) Cancún presents a Mexican folkloric show and bullfight. Enjoy the traditional pageantry and contest between man and beast. Tickets can be purchased at the Plaza ticket counter on the day of the event, or if you're at the Hotel Zone go to the Plaza Kukulcan and purchase your tickets there at the 2nd floor. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Either the matador or the Bull has to die at the end of the fight. The folkshow is very entertaining and they play a really fun soccer game with the audience and a bull before the fight.

    Show before the Bullfight

    This show was actually very good and unexpected. We came for the bullfight but found out that the show was included, it was very entertaining, with a lot of costume changes, great dancers and even a rodeo! The show ends with audience participation with a baby bull! VERY FUNNY! Great Deal for the price.

    Downtown Cancun: The City
  • Tip Rating:
  • They have different things going on throughout the week. I went to their GRAVITY performance that is shown earlier in the evening before the place becomes a nightclub. IT was an interesting experience. Dinner and then a show. Lots of audience participation. Pretty cool and worth checking out. Addmission runs about $65 USD per person.

    Downtown Cancun: Explore Downtown
  • Tip Rating:
  • Take the bus into the heart of Cancun and explore down there. You'll find plenty of restaurants and maybe even a festival. The restaurants are good and cheap almost all around. Sometimes guitar players will wander in off the street and play personalized songs for you, but be ready to cough up some pesos for it.

    Also, if you plan on sitting on the beach and just drinking a bunch, the supermarket is the best place to buy cheap Coronas or XX.

    Downtown Cancun: Better choice for shopping
  • Tip Rating:
  • It's very easy to get to the city itself (called Cancún Downtown). There is a frequent and cheap bus service from the Hotel Zone.
    Beside shopping which is definitely a better deal here than in the Hotel Zone, there are some funny colorful houses worth looking at.

    Downtown Cancun: Bullfight
  • Tip Rating:
  • An interesting culutural experience but not for the animal lover!
    Every Wednesday at 3:30pm (15:30) at the Plaza De Toros in Cancun.
    Admission is $400 pesos (approximately $40USD) for a 2 hour show.
    Show includes cermonies, dancing, audience participation and of course the bull fight. Guys, if you are brave you can play matador with a real, albeit smaller bull!
    Animal lovers be warned, the star bull is killed in this show and not discreetly either.
    A little shocking but part of the cultural experience, nontheless.

    Downtown Cancun: Coco Bongo
    Go to Coco Bongo for night time fun. Drinks are expensive. Cover charge is reasonable.

    Downtown shopping is the best. This is where you see the real beauty of the buildings. Just look at the only picture we have found of our CanCun experience.
    LOL :)
    Taxis to downtown are cheap.
