One of the most interesting archeological sites in the world! If you are in this area, you should consider going to Chichen-Itza. And even better, spend a night there or just enjoy the light show at night (better prices for the night show are on Sundays)

Located 25 minutes from Cancun by ferry, this is a beautiful island that I always recommend to my guests. Visit playa norte for the best beaches, walk around the town or rent a golf car to drive around the 7 km of the island.

My favourite part of this park is the show at night time. Grupo X-Caret have many theme parks in the area, and they are not cheap, this would be my number 1 recommendation if you have to choose a park from the X-caret group.
Different shows play all day from the Mexican culture. They also have a variety of local wildlife.
