Cancun Beach is the perfect place to start this adventure trip. The crystal-clear waters, soft white sand beaches, and water sports make it a paradise for adventure enthusiasts. From scuba diving to jet skiing, there is something for everyone.
Chichen Itza is a great place to learn about the history and culture of Mexico. It was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people, and its ruins are now a UNESCO world heritage site. You can explore the iconic El Castillo pyramid, observatory, and Ball Court.
Rio Secreto is an underground river system that stretches for miles. It is a great adventure spot where you can swim and cave dive among the stalactites and stalagmites. Exploring this natural wonder will be an unforgettable experience.
Isla Mujeres is a small island that offers a mix of adventure and relaxation. You can scuba dive, snorkel, or swim with the dolphins. You can also rent a golf cart to explore the island or relax on the white sand beaches.
Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a protected natural reserve that stretches for miles. It is a great place to see wildlife, including dolphins, turtles, and tropical birds. You can go on a boat tour, hike the reserve, or take a dip in the crystal clear water holes.
Cozumel Island is a haven for outdoor adventurers. You can rent a bike, go horseback riding or ATV through the jungle or visit the Punta Sur Eco Beach Park which has one of Mexico's most beautiful reef.
Tulum Ruins is a beautiful ancient city with spectacular architecture reflecting Mayan civilization. You can explore the great views of the Caribbean from the clifftop Mayan coastal fortresses, temples, and palaces overlooking the ocean.
Transportation in Mexico is relatively affordable, comfortable and convenient. Car rental is feasible, but public transportation is reliable and cost-effective. The cost of an Uber, for example, runs between $0.50 - $1.50 per kilometer, although taxis are a cheaper option. For intercity transportation between major tourist destinations, there are affordable, reliable coach services such as ADO, OCC, or Mayab (fares range from $2-$15, depending on distance and class).
If you have more than 7 days, you might want to add a visit to the Coba Ruins or Xcaret Park. If you are traveling with kids, visit Xel-Ha eco-park. You can spend less time on Rio Secreto and explore other adventure activities in Mexico, such as rafting in Jalcomulco River, rock climbing in Potrero Chico, mountain biking in Oaxaca Mountains or surfing in Puerto Escondido.
