About Cancun Cont.

The island's options for children and young adults include a variety of activities. For a real lift, let go and fly a kite from the vantage point of the El Mirador de la Playa Delfines. Play a round of mini-golf at the Canczn Palace Hotel's Golfito. Swimming with dolphins at the Xcaret will leave any traveller something to return home and tell about. Kayaking, skating or cycling along the Ciclopista in the Plaza Kukulcan. Parents are invited to participate in these activities as well. Movie-lovers will be pleased to find the latest releases offered at the 10 fully equipped theatres in the plush cinema complex Cinemarklocated in the La Isla Shopping Centre.

Horseback riding along the shore for equine lovers, or sailing, reef snorkelling, deep-sea diving, fishing, jet-skiing, and a host of other outdoor activities abound. Massage therapy is available, and can be requested from the hotel. Dining is available in over 200 restaurants , and more than 400 shops await the shopper in the hotel district.

Many other points of interest lie in proximity for those who wish to venture out of the island's main districts. The archaeological ruins of the lost Mayan civilisation at Chichen Itza are located 87 miles from the island. Isla Mujeres, an exotic natural sanctuary with deep-sea diving available, is a mere 6 miles away. A visit to the ecological and archaeological park of Xcaret is a must, offering underground rivers and caves, a dip with the dolphins, or an evening multimedia show recounting Mayan history. For the adventurous spirit and jungle explorer, excursions are available to the Reserva de la Bissfera Sian Ka'an, to discover the mangroves and the wildlife thriving in this almost virgin territory.

Boredom is prohibited on the island and its surrounding vicinities, leaving the traveller to choose, set out and enjoy!
