Travel tips
The maps
Grab a window seat on your
flight, because your amazing Cancun area vacation begins
with your descent over the breathtaking turquoise water
and powdery white sand
beaches of the Yucatan.
The typical flight path will
bring you in over the undeveloped
north shore where you may
catch a glimpse of Holbox island,
a narrow sliver of land where life
is laid-back, and tourists walk
the beaches nearly alone.
Following your bird's eye view of Holbox, endless miles of
beach will appear on the horizon.
As you pass over the waves
gently lapping at the shore, the
hues of blue give way to the
greens of the jungle, and finally,
the colorful hotels of Cancun will
come into view. Unexpectedly,
the jungle will give way to a
clearing, as your wheels touch
down—
Welcome to Mexico!
Up until this point, your pilot
has been in charge of your
vacation; now let us take over.
First, get out your Cancun
Airport map and travel guide
(included free with each order),
and let us guide you through
those frustrating airport delays
that keep you from getting your
toes in the sand, and a drink in
your hand. This guide will also
help you find the cheapest, or
fastest, transportation from the
airport to your hotel.
Once you've settled into your
hotel, we'd love to have you join
us on an adventure. Whether it
be exploring the Mayan ruins,
or
finding a secret restaurant
that
only the locals know about,
Laura and I (Perry) have spent
hundreds of hours exploring the
Riviera Maya, Cancun, Cozumel,
Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen,
Tulum, Akumal, Puerto Morelos
, and more, so you can
experience only the best that
Mexico's Caribbean coast has
to offer.
