Sightseeing in Cancun is as exciting as it is wonderful. The tourist appeal largely lies in its beach resorts, with wide stretches of sandy lagoons providing a haven for water sports lovers and sun-seekers. Meanwhile, the surrounding areas of the city encompass protected parks and nature reserves containing exquisite Mexican flora and fauna. If you want to see the city and its surrounds in a less traditional manner, try a lobster dinner cruise, from where you can enjoy the city’s night-time illumination, or head off on a jeep adventure, which guarantees adrenalin-pumped sightseeing.
Xcaret
This nature preserve park offers tourists a welcoming place to enjoy walks among Mexican plants and wildlife, with the park also boasting excellent swimming and snorkelling opportunities, as well as a stunning white sand beach. This is the site where Xcaret de Noche (Xcaret at Night) is hosted, a song and dance show that details the history of Mexico. The park also contains a mini-zoo, which is ideal for children.
