Cancun is a top destination for college students on spring break. Between premiere access to the sea, ancient ruins and booming nightlife, it\u2019s no wonder this area attracts so many 20-somethings every year. Here\u2019s what you should know for your Cancun spring break.<\/p>\n
With more than 200 bars and clubs in the most populated part of Cancun, you won\u2019t have to travel far from your vacation rentals to find a party. A Cancun spring break wouldn\u2019t be complete without a night at Senior Frogs or Coco Bongo, or one of the many other famous clubs in the area. Since cover charges tend to be low, you\u2019ll want to bar-hop all night long, or you can hop on a booze cruise. A bonus is that the drinking age here is only 18.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot to do during the day, assuming you\u2019re not going to sleep it away after a night of partying. Fat Tuesdays, which was popularized by MTV, is a daytime party spot with loud, popular music blaring. Several hotels and vacation rentals here have poolside bars, too, so you won\u2019t have to venture far to party.<\/p>\n
Cancun also allows you to drink on the beach, so pack a cooler and head out for a day in the sun. While you\u2019re lounging, you may want to get in on a volleyball tournament or beach contest.<\/p>\n
If you want to explore everything the area has to offer, book a day trip to Talum to see the Mayan ruins, or to the Temple of Kulucan. Or, explore Cancun\u2019s coral reef, the second largest in the world, by snorkeling or scuba diving. There are also opportunities to swim with the dolphins.<\/p>\n
The currency in Mexico is the peso, and since your dollar goes a long way here, you\u2019ll want to exchange your money upon arrival. Also note that the exchange rate will fluctuate daily, but it\u2019s almost always in your favor.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget your passport! You\u2019ll be traveling to Mexico, which is a separate country from the U.S. You\u2019ll be given a tourist card to fill out at the airport, and it\u2019s important to have this card on you at all times during your trip. At the end of your trip, the card will be terminated.<\/p>\n
Even though a lot of people here speak English, since it\u2019s such a popular tourist destination, it\u2019s a good idea to know a few conversational sentences in Spanish, or to have an app on your phone that will help you out in a pinch. This is especially important if you\u2019re going to sign up for a tour outside of the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
