Mayan Culture m i l l e n n i a h a v e p a s s e d since the Mayan culture thrived amongst the jungles and shores of modern-day Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula. A highly intelligent civilization with precise understanding of agriculture, astronomy, and math, the Mayans devised a complex hieroglyphic alphabet, charted paths of the moon and stars, invented the number “zero” for mathematical use and developed a calendar system that’s more accurate than the one we use today.
C a n c u n Va c a t i o n P l a n n e r
m aya n c u lt u r e
were one of only two peoples to develop and sustain an urban culture in a rainforest setting. But Mayan cities were not cities in the modern sense. Because this ancient culture was so strongly devoted to its religion, the urban centers they built consisted primarily of massive temples and monuments used in worship for their gods. These urban centers were barely habitable because, as lush as rainforests are, the free-growing vegetation and other flora sap the soil of nutrients, making it extremely poor agricultural land. t h e m aya s
As a result, the Mayans’ ceremonial centers served a population that was dispersed in the surrounding areas. In fact, it is estimated that during the classic period of Mayan culture, the population was less than 30 people per square mile. With so few people available for labor, the construction of Mayan temples and monuments is even more impressive. Vestiges of these holy structures are still standing in Cancun, preserved by dense jungles and rainforests. Operating companies offer certified guides to help you find and enjoy these remarkable sites. Most tours include visits to the colonial city of Valladolid, sacrificial sinkholes and an archaeological site and provide an opportunity to witness a Mayan ceremony as well. In El Meco, just five km from Cancun, a pyramid dubbed El Castillo (The Castle), features fans symbols of commerce encrusted on its facades, to mark its significance as a commercial center. In the hotel zone, the monuments of El Rey were erected, and vestiges of brightly colored mural painting remain. Archaeological wonder even extends to Cancun’s golf courses. On the course called “Pok ta Pok,” golfers encounter an isolated temple.

The ancient city looming above five lagoons, Coba is 101.5 miles from Cancun and is made up of various Mayan communities. In its era, Coba extended over 70 square miles. Nohoch Mul, the tallest pyramid on the north of the peninsula, still stands and offers seemingly infinite views over the jungle. The recently discovered Ek-Balam was once a sacred center and seat of power. Located 90 miles from Cancun, the walled city is just beginning to reveal its secrets through its buildings, temples and palaces. Just 82 miles south of Cancun, the cliff-side city of Tulum is among Mexico’s most-visited Mayan ruins. The walled city’s remaining castle and temple are decorated with figures of the god descending and overlook the vast turquoise ocean. Local residents take great pride in this powerful, storied Mayan heritage which dates back to 1500 BC, and its influence on modern-day Cancun is apparent everywhere you look, from art and architecture to spa indulgences and cuisine.

ecotourism and adventure
Ecotourism & Adventure exist everywhere in Cancun, as the surrounding ecotourism and adventure lets you experience and commune with nature like no place else. In fact, natural pursuits alone draw thousands of visitors to Cancun each year. That’s no coincidence. From the early days of its development, Cancun has been designed to keep intact natural treasures and resources. Because these jungles, waters, reefs and habitats are impeccably preserved and maintained and because use of them is carefully regulated they remain available for exploration.

And dramatic environs set the stage for your experience. Explore a fascinating underground river system. Search mysterious caves. Brave a mystic jungle sprawling over undetected ancient cities. Tiptoe around the world’s largest natural sinkholes known to locals as “cenotes.” Glide from jungle tree to jungle tree via a zip line that suspends you over rivers, streams, foliage and cenotes. Getting in touch with Cancun’s wild side is easy when in the midst of Caribbean wildlife. You’ll encounter howler monkeys, flamingos, and mot-mots (clock birds). Macaws, toucans and other gloriously colored exotic birds call to you from a verdant tree canopy. In the turquoise waters off Cancun, you’ll swim with dolphins and, perhaps, catch a rare glimpse of a whale shark. Submerge yourself in the vibrant marine life of the Great Mesoamerican Reef, teeming with prismatic plant and animal species that thrive in these waters. Or dive into a different world at the acclaimed archipelago formed by Holbox, Contoy, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel Islands and the Chinchorro Banks. Come discover these world-renowned ecoarchaeological parks and nature reserves. Kayak under the sun and stars. Seek peaceful manatees in calm river waters. Hike florid paths blooming with bromeliads. All of Cancun’s natural wonders are yours to experience.

Cancun Golf fa i r w ay s h av e n e v e r s e e m e d s o fa i r .
Greens? Never as green.
The game of golf? Never more imposing and poetic. In Cancun, some of the world’s most renowned golf course designers have teamed up with the surrounding lush nature and created a selection of nine legendary courses, with four more on the way. Cancun course designs have come from some of the game’s greatest names, including Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Robert Von Hagge, Isao Aoki, Greg Norman, Tom Weiskopf, P.B. Dye, Tom Fazio and Nick Price.

While some courses are built around historical Mayan temples, modern conveniences and design features are incorporated into every course to ensure that players of all levels are ready for the challenge. In fact, golf courses in the Mexican Caribbean meet the highest standards set by professional tournaments and expert golfers. And from the pro shop to the 19th hole, you can take advantage of familiar golfing amenities such as club, shoe and cart rental, practice areas, putting greens, course assistants, and lessons or clinics from club pros.

• I f you like seafood, you must try ceviche, a tropical Mexican specialty featuring fish or seafood such as shrimp, octopus or shellfish, with finely chopped onion, cilantro and tomato. Chili pepper and avocado are added, and all the ingredients are bathed in fresh lemon juice, resulting in an incomparable explosion of flavors. • D rink like the locals and order Xtabentun after your meal. This local liquor is prepared by fermenting anise and honey with an infusion of fine herbs. • B rave the habanero chile. This mild-looking yellow pepper is fire-hot but serves as an excellent condiment to some of Mexico’s finest culinary delicacies. • R emember to tip your servers as gratuities are not included in food and beverage prices. Depending on the quality of service, tips are customarily between 10 and 20 percent of the total bill.

Romance is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, worthy of a one-of-a-kind celebration. For those who’ve already said their vows, Cancun is the perfect locale for honeymoons, anniversaries and romantic getaways. For weddings, Cancun offers a seemingly endless array of majestic locations for those ready to say, “I do.”
your romance
Walk down the “isle” flanked by an ancient Mayan village. Exchange vows aboard a charming theme boat. Set your intimate ceremony in a lush tropical garden or small boutique hotel on the coast. Invite hundreds and host them in a world-class resort’s elegant ballroom or modern convention center. Say your vows in an ecoarchaeological park, such as Xcaret which offers a small wedding chapel. Your civil or religious ceremony may include an elegant banquet or a candlelit dinner on the beach. You may even choose a traditional Mexican wedding, complete with mariachis, or an enchanting Mayan ceremony.

puerto morelos
Puerto Morelos Puerto Morelos is another highly recommended stop while touring the Mexican Caribbean.
l o c at e d 3 5 k m f r o m c a n c u n ,
A laid-back atmosphere characterizes this friendly fishermen’s village. The old lighthouse is a symbol that represents very well Puerto Morelos’ bohemian and tranquil taste that bestows a special magic on visitors and residents, be it natives or people from all over the world that have made it their home after being seduced by its natural beauty and the many attractions it has to offer. Puerto Morelos has a wide variety of guesthouses, bed and breakfast facilities, villas, condos and hotels that range from modest to deluxe and all-inclusive categories. When in Puerto Morelos, you can spoil yourself with any of the exotic spa treatments, take a snorkeling or scuba diving trip to the National Marine Park and admire the coral reefs in the transparency of the Caribbean waters. A fishing trip is also offered for those fond of this sport. And for adventure lovers there are many ecotourism excursions and activities to explore the jungle and appreciate the wild life. Food is another great experience at any of the specialty restaurants or popular cafes and diners where people meet to savor their meals, the evening warmth and the delightful colors of the sunset. Puerto Morelos has it all; it is certainly an enchanting retreat nobody should miss.
