THINGS TO SEE AND DO NEARBY
Cancun, the center of the most important tourist area in Mexico, didn't exist until 25 years ago. It was created practically from thin air, built by the Mexican government to relieve the flood of visitors to Acapulco, which couldn't handle one more tourist.

For that reason, visitors will not find any history recorded here or monuments to fix on photographs or videotapes. But they will find an entertainment complex that has a little bit of everything.

Cancun is a tongue of sand 23 kilometers long, with two beautiful interior lagoons. The hotel zone occupies the entire length of the beaches.

The city center is on solid ground with many interesting places for visitors, such as Tulum avenue, where there are quite a few very pleasant restaurants and bars.

The most original restaurant in Cancun is "Bogart's," a recreation of "Rick's Café" in the movie "Casablanca." The meat and seafood are excellent. Also very noteworthy is "El Mexicano," which offers excellent local cuisine.

A few kilometers to the north of the city is Puerto Juárez, which, up until a few years ago, was the only town in the region. The ferry to the Isle of Women leaves from there. In the opposite direction lie the Mayan ruins of Tulum, some 129 kilometers to the south. You can also make day trips to the ruins of Chichén and Itzá, or to the towns of Puerto Morelos and Cozumel.
