One of the most popular cities to visit in Mexico, Cancun is located on the border of the Caribbean Sea and is known for its beaches, resorts, and nightlife (You may have also heard of it as a famous spring break destination). If you’re going to stop by Cancun anytime soon, here are some things we recommend doing.

Swim in a Cenote

Cancun is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, which is known for its cenotes, or natural limestone cave pools. There are thousands and many are open for swimming, which creates one of the most magical water experiences you’ll ever have in your life. Between the cool, clear water and the stunning greenery, you’ll never want to leave.

Snorkel

Snorkeling is an absolute must when visiting the Caribbean, with incredible marine life to be seen and appreciated. You can even visit the Underwater Museum, which boasts 500 sculptures created from materials that encourage coral reef development.

A Temazcal Ritual

A traditional Mayan ceremony that takes place in a tiny hut, doing a Temazcal ritual is a very special, spiritual experience. Led by a shaman, the ceremony involves darkness, sweating, chanting, herbs, and purification of the mind, body, and soul.
