Cancún, a Mexican city on the Yucatán Peninsula facing the Caribbean Sea, is famous for its beaches, resorts, and nightlife. It is divided into two sections: El Centro, the ancient downtown centre, and Zona Hotelera, a long coastal strip of high-rise hotels, nightclubs, shops and restaurants. Cancun is also a popular summer holiday destination for university students thanks to the hot weather that the city experiences.

Cancún is known across the world for its stunning white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise water. Natural wonders, Mayan heritage, water sports, and adventure can be all found in this beautiful city. Tourists will be spoiled for choice when it comes to things to experience in Cancun, with international cuisine, outstanding golf courses, modern wellness facilities, exclusive retail centres and handcraft markets all on offer. The city has a legendary nightlife scene with an abundance of shows, restaurants and nightclubs all over. Participate in action-packed trips such as snorkelling with sea turtles and whale sharks, or go on a boat trip and do some deep sea fishing. The Mexican waters are home to over 500 distinct fish species, so you never know what you'll find! If it's wildlife you're after, try the speedboat jungle trip that meanders through Cancun's lovely lagoon.
