The Yucatan has tons of Cenotes, or natural sinkholes with fresh water, where you can go for a refreshing swim with a magical atmosphere. Many cenote parks include jumping platforms, ziplines, and underwater caves to explore. We highly recommend checking out a Cenote if you're looking for other things to do!

We have visited Cenote Zapote Ecopark which includes ziplining into a cenote and Ecopark Kantun-Chi, both of which include jumping platforms and swimming in underwater caves!

The Yucatan is filled with amazing ancient ruins. Some of the best ruins include Playa del Carmen Archeological Site (1.5 hours away), Tulum Ruins (2 hours away), Chichen Itza (2.5 hours away). Guests can travel to the ruins via taxi or tours that include transportation.

Xcaret is a water park, theme park, amusement park, eco-archaeological park, and more. It has a privileged location in the middle of the jungle, with natural settings such as underground rivers, cenotes, and the mesmerizing Caribbean Sea. In addition, Xcaret is the only one among the theme parks in Cancun and Riviera Maya that celebrates Mexican history, traditions, and folklore with such magnitude. Experience the culture and history of Mexico with the night show that we loved and highly recommend! Additional optional activities from the park include parasailing, swimming with dolphins, snuba, and snorkeling. Booking options that include bus transportation are also available.

Xoximilco Cancún is a fun and complete Mexican party that you can enjoy on a picturesque Mexican gondola enlivened by a witty host, a mariachi, traditional Mexican music, and tequila! Try the most representative dishes of Mexican food, drinks, and much more on board a floating party!

Aboard a catamaran boat to Isla Mujeres, an island 13 kilometers off the coast from Cancún.
