If You Haven't Been To Cancun Yet, Let Me Convince You...

Did a trip to Cancun a couple weeks ago with the guys and left the wives/girlfriends at home. It was my first trip there; most of my guys trips are geared toward finding surf so we head to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, etc, but this was a great trip and one you should do for several reasons:

  • It’s very affordable, especially when you split the hotel and rent-a-car between a few guys. Airfare ran us $225 on Volaris, the Mexican airline.
  • The Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza a couple hours drive away in Yucatan state are incredible. We were there on the equinox when the serpent shadow appears on the massive temple there.
  • The cenote at Ik-Kil is a few minutes from Chichen Itza. There are many cenotes close to the ruins at Tulum near Playa Del Carmen, but Ik-Kil is incredible and is where they did the Red Bull high diving event…diving a hundred feet into a hole in the earth…insane! You can go down to the water and jump in from lower and swim, it’s surreal.
  • The ruins at Tulum are beautiful and sit above the ocean, so you can go down to the beach and swim and look up at pre-Columbian temples on the cliff.
  • The snorkeling at Cozumel is terrific, and you can have lunch at the famous Senor Frogs.
  • The clubs in Playa Del Carmen and the Cancun Hotel Zone are going off every night of the week and filled with beautiful people of all ages.
  • Go to Xcaret. I can’t describe this place adequately…so much fun.

Anyway, other than getting the typical Mexican shakedown from a fat, sloppy municipal cop the first night, it was smooth sailing. Take this trip, it’s worth it.

Went to Cancun when I was younger. I didn't think I'd like it because I generally hate swimming, but snorkeling at Cozumel was fucking amazing and would love to do it again.

 

 

The water there is literally crystal clear. And then you got the point where the freshwater river meets the saltwater ocean, it's pretty cool to how they react to each other.
