Plan your holiday to Cancun
Budget
Travelling in autumn is your best bet for an affordable holiday to Cancun – crowds are lighter and there are more deals to be found on hotels and attractions. An inexpensive meal will cost around 200 Mexican pesos ($). A domestic beer costs about $55, and a cappuccino a little over $70. Taxi rides start at around $257.
Getting around Cancun
Unless you know the roads well, driving in Cancun is best avoided – traffic can be heavy and parking is often limited. Downtown and the Hotel Zone are walkable, and affordable buses connect the two. Taxis are readily available, but always agree on a price before setting off. For a hassle-free arrival, it's worth pre-booking your airport transfer through your hotel.
Day trips from Cancun
About an hour from the city, Rio Secreto is an underground cave system with a flowing river. Guided tours lead you through the depths, past spectacular formations. For a more cultural experience, Valladolid is a beautiful town of cobblestone streets and colonial mansions, around two hours away.
