Museo Maya<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Staying with the \u201cmuseum\u201d vibe, for now, although the Museo Maya is a slightly more conventional historical attraction. If, after exploring Chichen Itza, you\u2019re desperate to&nbsp;<strong>learn more about the Mayans<\/strong>, then this is the place to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Set out over 80 hectares Museo Maya also includes the ruins of San Miguelito. An ancient civilisation that includes everything from temples to humble Mayan homes. Wander exhibits, showcasing relics, tools, and ancient skeletons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Walk_the_Hotel_Zone\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #8615e3;\">5. Walk the Hotel Zone&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As we mentioned earlier, Cancun is split into two areas, Downtown and the Hotel Zone. You might be thinking that the Hotel Zone is just a collection of high-end resorts, bars, and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>While that is semi-correct, Kukulc\u00e1n Boulevard stretches the length of the strip and offers a beautiful walk through manicured grounds. White-sand beaches also line the walkway, so wherever you look you\u2019ll be treated to magical vistas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Discover_Downtown_Cancun\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #cd11a6;\">6.

This quaint location offers more of a look into everyday life in Cancun. The town has become a popular residential area for most families looking to make a living in the region\u2019s tourism industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take some time to wander the colourful streets and explore the charming green spaces, small boutiques and delicious street food. The latter of which mainly consists of tacos, but we\u2019ll talk more about those later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DOWNTOWN CANCUN SHOCKED US \ud83d\ude31 | HOTEL ZONE vs DOWNTOWN\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfd\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4hA7wnlp58Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Snorkelling_Experiences\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #2d06bf;\">7. Snorkelling Experiences<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As demonstrated perfectly by the Museo Subacu\u00e1tico de Arte, there are some wonderful things to see when you go snorkelling in Cancun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Great Mayan Reef is right on the region\u2019s doorstep and stretches as far as Honduras and Belize. Submarine sights along the reef ensure diving or even just glass-bottomed boat rides are some of the best things to do in Cancun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Xplor_Adventure_Park\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #18ac40;\">8.

This&nbsp;<strong>traditional purification ceremony<\/strong>&nbsp;sees a shaman detox your body through temperature changes and soothing herbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Completed in the dark you\u2019ll enter a hut where volcanic rocks have been heated and water poured on them to create steam. Aromas of fresh herbs fill the environment. Meanwhile, the temperature in the hut is increased and lowered throughout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony ends with a dip in cooling water and a refreshing fruit plate. You\u2019ll emerge feeling completely renewed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_El_Meco_Ruins\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #18ac40;\">22.
