Archaeological Site "El Rey"

Among other Cancun attractions are some minor archaeological sites, the best example of which is Ruinas El Rey located on Kukulacan Blvd. at km. 17 across from the Hilton Cancun Beach & Golf Resort. A visit to El Rey is well worth the modest entry fee. The ruins are well preserved and the sheer number of resident iguanas make for a pleasant diversion. Bilingual tour guides are available for the more inquisitive types. There are other very minor ruins along the beach, well marked on most maps.

Water Activities

Many beachside hotels offer water-sports centers that offer rentals for rubber rafts, kayaks, wind-surfing, motorized jets and water skis, para-sailing, and snorkeling equipment. On the calm Nichupte Lagoon are outlets for water-skiing, sailboats, water jets, and water skis. The most popular activity of this beautiful lagoon is the Jungle Tour. Ride on a mini-boat for 2 persons through the jungle and then enjoy excellent snorkeling. Jungle Tours are usually a 3 hour tour, perfect for those with a tight schedule.

Boating Excursions

A whole variety of pleasure boat cruises to the Nichupte lagoon, Isla Mujeres, Contoy Island, and other destinations are available every day from Cancun. Modern motor yachts, catamarans, trimarans, and even old time sloops take swimmers, sunbathers, snorkelers, and shoppers out into the limpid waters. Some tours include a snorkeling stop at ecological parks, snorkeling equipment, continental breakfast, lunch, and a shopping tour. Most tours leave at 9:30 or 10:00 am and they last about 5 to 6 hours. Sunset and night cruises, go to beaches of Isla Mujeres away from the town for pirate or Caribbean shows and usually include a Mexican buffet dinner and open bar.

 

Bullfight Show

Cancun has its own small bull-ring near the northern end of Blvd. Kukulcan, in the downtown area. One of Mexico's oldest traditions, a demonstration of courage and style, combined with authentic folkloric dances and Mexican Rodeo. Come with us and cheer Ole! Don't miss it! The show is held every Wednesday at 3.30 pm.

 

Folkloric Ballet

Nightly performances of the “Ballet Folclorico de Cancun” are held at the Cancun Convention Center. You can go for dinner or just for the show and enjoy the traditional Mexican Dances performed.
