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 Joyería Ambarte and Siete Detalles. Venture out of the city with trips to Xel-Ha Park by Xcaret (in Solidaridad), Two Eyes Cenote (in Tulum) and Playa del Carmen (Zipline, Scuba & Snorkeling, &more). The adventure continues: buy something for everyone on your list at La Isla Shopping Village, stop by Plaza Las Americas, and get close to the beloved marine mammals with a swim-with-the-dolphins experience.
