Qué hacer en Cancún
Discover Mayan ruins
The ancient Mayan capital of Chichen Itza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is around 200km from Cancun and home to ancient pyramids and temples. Alternatively, take a 90-minute drive to the coastal town of Tulum, where 13th-century ruins sit above some of the Yucatan’s best beaches.
Enjoy an island escape
Just off the coast of Cancun, you’ll find islands offering coral reefs, wildlife sanctuaries and pristine beaches. Cozumel, the largest, is a top destination for diving and snorkelling. Isla Mujeres is a popular day trip from Cancun, while Isla Contoy is a protected national park that’s ideal for nature lovers.
Swim in the cenotes
The Yucatan Peninsula is home to more than 3,000 cenotes, stunning natural sinkholes that range from open-air pools to underground caves. Cenote Azul, around 25km south of Cancun, is known for its striking turquoise waters, while others feature zip lines and diving platforms.
Cancun’s tropical climate makes it a year-round destination. Temperatures hover around the mid-20s from November to April, rising above 30 degrees between May and October, when humidity is highest. Sunshine is constant, though the rainy season brings occasional afternoon showers.
May – October
This is Mexico’s rainy season, with the hottest temperatures of the year. Rainfall peaks in August and September and can occasionally bring monsoons. However, attractions are generally much quieter and accommodation cheaper. September is also a lively time to visit, as Independence Day is celebrated nationwide with parties, parades and fireworks.
November – April
Mexico’s dry season is a perfect time to visit Cancun and the Mayan Riviera, with warm temperatures and minimal rainfall. Whale watching runs from January to March, when humpback, blue and grey whales migrate along the coast. The enchanting Day of the Dead festival, held from 31 October to 1 November, is celebrated with music and street parties.
