8 days in Cancun Itinerary

Few destinations in Mexico dazzle visitors quite like Cancun, a modern resort town filled with glitzy hotels sitting on picturesque and well-developed Caribbean beaches.

Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Playa Delfines and Playa Norte. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Guayaberas Dexorden and Alberto's. Venture out of the city with trips to Two Eyes Cenote (in Tulum) and Playa del Carmen (Zipline, Scuba & Snorkeling, &more). There's still lots to do: whizz through the canopy at Xel-Ha Park by Xcaret, get close to the beloved marine mammals with a swim-with-the-dolphins experience, look for gifts at Plaza Las Americas, and browse the different shops at La Isla Shopping Village.
