Cancun is a gorgeous city on the
southeast coast of Mexico. Set on the Caribbean Sea, it’s not surprising that
Cancun has, over the years, become a major tourist hotspot. The beaches are
second to none, with powdery white sands and warm blue seas that will leave you
feeling like you’ve spent the day in paradise. If your kids are anything like
mine, they’ll no doubt love spending time in and around the water, and Cancun
has a fantastic range of water sports available. There are at least 25
different water sports centres, all of which make a conscious effort to keep
their pollution levels as low as possible to avoid damaging the environment.
The Interactive
Cancun Aquarium is worth a look if you fancy getting up close and personal
with some of the local sea life. There are touch tanks and dolphin shows and
you can pay a little extra for the chance to swim with sharks or dolphins.
Mexico City is also a stunning
place to head for if you’re looking for something a little more cultural. Arena
Mexico stages famous Lucha Libre wrestling matches, where two masked
challengers fight it out in colourful masks and rather fetching spandex until
one unmasks the other and is declared the winner. Just south of the city you’ll
find the Xochimilco, a network of canals which connects a number of lakes that
surrounded the area. You can rent one of the beautifully decorated punts and
navigate down the waterways at your leisure. It can get a little busy on
weekends, so head there early if you want to avoid queues. You can also have a
lot of fun together renting bikes and riding around the city. Alternatively you
might enjoy a spot of horseback riding. There are several organisers around the
city, and it’s best to ride in the morning as temperatures tend to climb
enormously in the afternoons.
Whatever you do on your holiday to
Mexico make sure you check out some of the local cuisine. There are several
juice stalls in Mexico City where you can get the most incredible orange juice
for virtually no money. And obviously the fajitas served here are better than
any DIY kit you might come across at home – the kids are bound to love them!
