Vacation Rentals
Crystal Blue Waters and
Mayan Civilization of Cancun by James Tutten
The older part of Cancun
city is connected by bridges to the newer Cancun which was developed as
a resort destination for tourists. Tourism is the number one reason for
a booming economy in Cancun. Inside the seven shape exists Nichupte Lagoon.
This is a freshwater lagoon which hosts many water activities to the tourists.
To get to the older Cancun, two bridges exists connecting the hotel zone
and inner Cancun city.
Less tourism exists in the
older parts of Cancun, so more cultural flavor can be observed. Traditional
Mexican and Cuban restaurants can be accessed as well as shopping. Flea
markets and international chains are less expensive tourist fare. Aside
from the talc beaches and active nightlife, many tourists travel to Cancun
to learn about the ancient Mayan civilization first hand. Ruinas del Ray
is the closest ruins in Cancun, located right in the heart of the hotel
zone. El Ray and El Meco ruins remain standing just outside the city limits
of Cancun. In Tulam, a little north of Cancun, exisrs a more substantial
archeological site for exploring the previous life of the Mayans. For day
trips, it is highly recommended to spend time in the lost city of Uxmal
or at Xel-Ha.
Xel-Ha
and Xcaret are big draws for Cancun visitors. Both incorporate natural
reserves, Mayan ruins and theme parks into one package. Thousands of tourists
make these two places high on the must-do list. These natural parks offer
amenities which combine marine life with humans, such as swimming with
dolphins. Xel-Ha and Xcaret have preserved the natural eco-diverse environments
of the jungles and sandy coastlines beautifully. Cancun will continue to
gain popularity as long as Mother Nature remains kind and humans likewise.
The visual attraction to Cancun is the numerous Caribbean shorelines made
of white sand and crystal turquoise waters. Inside the seven shape exists
Nichupte Lagoon. To get to the older Cancun, two bridges exists connecting
the hotel zone and inner Cancun city.
