About Cancun

The Mayan Empire had cities in the Cancun area from 2000 BCE until the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors arrived on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. The Yucatan Peninsula is full of evidence of Mayan cities and temples which give us an idea of the lifestyle and beliefs of people in this area. You’ve likely heard of famous sites like Chichen Itza, but smaller sites like the El Rey ruins are also notable and easy to reach during your transfer from the Cancun Airport to Cancun.

The Mayans were skilled architects, astronomers, stone masons, and fishermen. However, Spanish colonialism brought violence and disease, so the Mayan population in the Cancun area sharply declined. For hundreds of years, the Yucatan Peninsula was relatively uninhabited save for small fishing villages along the coast and on the islands.

It is home to a diverse variety of marine life, including manatees, 500 species of fish, and 65 species of coral.

What is the best time to visit Cancun

Cancun is located in the tropics and has two seasons: the dry season (November to April) and the wet season (May to October). The best time to visit Cancun is the dry season, as it has long, warm days with sunny skies and little rain.

Cancun is by no means off-limits during the wet season, however, activities and flights from the Cancun Airport may be canceled due to tropical storms. If you choose to travel to Cancun between May and October, monitor the hurricane maps and be prepared for a quick exit or alternative vacation plans.
