Cancun, Mexico- Vicki’s Birthday

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Cancún, a Mexican city on the Yucatán Peninsula bordering the Caribbean Sea, is known for its beaches, numerous resorts, and nightlife. It’s composed of two distinct areas: the more traditional downtown area, El Centro, and Zona Hotelera, a long, beachfront strip of high-rise hotels, nightclubs, shops, and restaurants. Cancun is also a famed destination for students during universities’ spring break period. 

Visiting Cancun on Vicki’s birthday allowed us to visit a different park each day we were there.

We stayed at Xcaret, a water park, theme, amusement, eco-archaeological and more, in one place. Due to its privileged location in the jungle among underground rivers, cenotes and facing the Caribbean Sea, Xcaret has impressive scenarios where you can do different activities and enjoy them to the fullest. Besides that, Xcaret is a theme park in Cancun and Riviera Maya that celebrates Mexico’s present and rich past, a country known for its traditions, culture, and folklore.

Xcaret Information

Xcaret opened in 1990 and has since become a landmark of Cancun and Riviera Maya, even considered by many as THE destination of this region above the aforementioned. Its name means “small inlet” due to the fact that a portion of the Caribbean Sea enters the land. Because of this, the former inhabitants used Xcaret, known back then as Pole, as a merchandise port.

I picked out a Winner Resort!!
