CANCUN / YUCATAN |
 |
 Just
over 30 years old, Cancun is one of Mexico’s most popular tourist
destinations. Situated at the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, the
area is equally famous for both the modern and the ancient. All
of the tourist related areas on the beaches are brand new. The Yucatan,
however, has been known for many years as the site for ancient Mayan
ruins.Shaped in the form of the number seven, the area’s Hotel Zone, is lined with deluxe hotels, restuarants and nightclubs, and the downtown area, offers shopping, a theater and convention center. Cancun is a haven for the aquatically inclined, as boating, fishing, diving and swimming opportunities abound at some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Diving from the mainland of the Yucatan penninsula offers an array of choices. From the shallow and colorful reefs off Cancun and Playa Del Carman to the miles of cenotes that have made the Yucatan one of the top cave diver destinations. Farther south is the newest destination, the Chinchorro Banks, part of the second largest barrier reef in the world. Offshore, visibility is an average of 100 ft. (30 m), inshore expect a little less. The cenotes offer crystal clear visibility at all times. Climate 75 - 90F 24 - 32C Water Temp 75 - 85F 24 - 29C |
