8 days in Cancun Itinerary

Few destinations in Mexico dazzle visitors quite like Cancun, a modern resort town filled with glitzy hotels sitting on picturesque and well-developed Caribbean beaches.

Attractions like Zipline and Aqua Nick make great kid-friendly stops. Venture out of the city with trips to Playa del Carmen (Scuba & Snorkeling, Vidrio Soplado Mexicano, &more) and Akumal Natura Rescue (in Akumal). There's still lots to do: buy something for everyone on your list at La Isla Shopping Village, find something for the whole family at Puerto Maya Cancun, tee off at Moon Palace Golf Course, and let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour.
