There are always tips or information tidbits that can be helpful when traveling to an area you haven’t been before. The following is some helpful information that some don’t know about when visiting Cancun Mexico:
The History Behind Cancun
When a vacationing is planned, you don’t normally stop and think about how that exact destination was chosen to be a travelers paradise. Cancun made the cut in a very peculiar way which started as research back in the early 1960s. The Mexican government headed a project which logged information such as beach quality, insect population and water quality all over Mexico. In 1969, this information was accessed in a data base search to find the best location to create a tourist destination and along came Cancun.
Use Your Spanish Skills
You don’t have to be fluent in Spanish to make your way through a trip to Mexico, but basic conversation knowledge can be helpful. Not only can it help a tourist get around easier, but it can be very appealing to the locals. Most locals are helpful with sharing new words and are even more generous with good service when you can speak to them in their native tongue.
Using the Bus System
If you are exploring in a group and know how to get from Point A to Point B, going by bus in the city can be much cheaper than continuous taxi rides. Buses run frequently along the main tourist strip in Cancun. The drivers are often times friendly and will give good pointers on the best places to eat and shop. They are probably even more friendly when a tip is involved.
More than Just Resorts and Beaches
When vacation-goers think of Cancun, most minds go directly to the resorts and beaches, but the city has so much more to offer than that. People looking to take in the history of the area can visit numerous ancient ruins, including Chichen Itza, Yamil Lu’um and the temple of Pok Ta Pok, to name just a few.
