All these beaches are in the Cancun hotel zone, and you can visit them all week long with no fixed schedule.

Meet and visit the Mayan Museum of Cancun, where you can learn about the history of the Mayan ancestors and take a tour with guides specialized in Mayan culture. Visit the beaches, the archaeological site and take lots of pictures of your tour.

Tips to visit the Museo Maya in Cancun.

To enter the Great Mayan Museum of Cancun, you must purchase a ticket; you can get your tickets inside the museum or in advance at the museum facilities or with a travel agency that offers this type of tour and offers transportation services or any other activity nearby.

Laguna Nichupté

The Nichupte Lagoon is one of the most beautiful and representative sites you cannot miss during your visit to Cancun.

The Nichupté Lagoon is located on the left side of Cancun and borders the Caribbean Sea on the left side of the hotel zone. 

One of the activities you can do in the Nichupte Lagoon is to tour the lagoon in a yacht or a small boat. However, if you do not wish to tour the lagoon and prefer the tranquility of the site, you can also bring a hammock and hang it in the kiosks in front of the lagoon or organize a picnic in the Art Garden (in front of the lagoon).

Cancun Night clubs

Cancun nightclubs are ideal, no matter if you are an 18-year-old or an adult. This place has the perfect club for you, from themed shows to extravagant foam parties in an amazing music environment, so you won't stop dancing all night long.

Getting tickets to nightclubs is really easy in Cancun. Usually, outside the nightclubs, you will find representatives selling tickets to enter the place; prices are usually higher on the day of the event than when you buy them in advance. Another advantage of the hotel zone is that it won't take you more than 10 minutes to get from one nightclub to another, since these places are located at a maximum distance of 0.5 km from each other.
