Looking for a quick trip, or to add extra adventure to another Mexico tour? This four-day Cancún experience might be the answer to your travel prayers. Your sweeter-than-sweet hostel in Cancún's “hotel zone” will be your home-base for doing as much, or as little, as you want. Want to explore the area? Head out of the city on an excursion to a local community where you’ll prepare (and devour) some regional dishes, before swimming in a nearby cenote. Of course, you’ll have plenty of ways to spend your free time, like optional day trips to Isla Mujeres or Playa del Carmen, or just kicking back at the beach or by the hostel pool. |
Day 1 Welcome to Cancun!
Say hello to paradise! Arrive at Cancun airport and enjoy a transfer to your all-inclusive resort overlooking the Caribbean Sea. After settling in, take a stroll through the grounds and enjoy your first Mexican meal. Fresh ceviche and margaritas, anyone?
Day 2 Cancun
Today you will head out on a full-day tour of the UNESCO-certified Tulum ruins. Located on a cliff facing the Caribbean Sea, this is one of the most photogenic places in all of Mexico!
Day 3 Cancun
Put on your bathing suit and lather on sunscreen because today you're heading to Xel-Ha Park on the Riviera Maya! At this all-inclusive aquatic park, snorkel and see hundreds of colorful fish and marine species that inhabit its cove and cenotes.
Day 4 Cancun
Today is yours to spend at leisure in Cancun! After a hearty breakfast at your resort, consider visiting the Maya Museum, which holds one of Yucatan's most important collections of Maya artifacts. Besides a museum, there is an archaeological site worth exploring called San Miguelito on the same grounds. For an authentic feel of Mexican culture, visit Mercado 23, an open-air market that's the oldest in the city. Treat yourself to yummy tacos or a fresh juice at this locals-only market!
Day 5 Depart Mexico
Your Cancun adventure ends today. At the appropriate time, transfer to Cancun airport for your flight home.
Day 1 Cancún
Arrive at any time, and kick back at the hostel or head out to explore the city before meeting up with fellow Roamies in the evening. Later, head downtown to the Parque de las Palapas to find some food and to check out the local scene.
Day 2 Cancún
Day trip! Head away from the tourists into the jungle of the Yucatán to a local community. You'll learn all about the delicious regional cuisine and help prepare some of the dishes before scarfing it down on the spot for lunch. Later, top it all off with a swim in a nearby cenote to cool off from the midday heat. Don’t worry, you’ll still have time to hit the beach or hang out at the hostel pool when we get back to Cancún in the afternoon.
Day 3 Cancún
A free day in Cancún, how good does that sound? If you're craving more adventure you could head out on a day trip to Isla Mujeres or Playa del Carmen, or stay local and squeeze every last moment out of that white sand beach or the hostel hang-out spots. Your CEO is always on hand to give recommendations or to show you the best local stretches of beach, the rest is up to you. Ready to party? Of course you are! Your CEO knows all the best bars and clubs Cancún has to offer. Who needs sleep anyways?
Day 4 Cancún
Depart at any time, or maybe decide to add on a few more nights at the beach.
