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.

Visiting Xel-Ha and Scuba & Snorkeling will get you outdoors. Attractions like Playa Norte and Playa Delfines make great kid-friendly stops. Get out of town with these interesting Cancun side-trips: Cenotes Dos Ojos (in Tulum), Alberto's (in Zihuatanejo) and Playa del Carmen (Zipline, Guayaberas Dexorden, & more). It doesn't end there: look for gifts at La Isla Shopping Mall and fulfill a lifelong dream with a swim-with-the-dolphins experience.
