While your wedding may be the main attraction for your guests, many guests might also enjoy some sightseeing while they are in Cancun. Here is a list of some of the best attractions in the Cancun area.

Xcaret Park is about an hour south of Cancun, but it is definitely worth seeing. You can visit the butterfly pavilion, take a jungle path tour, view shows, swim with dolphins and see some incredible scenery.

The Interactive Aquarium is right in the center of the hotel zone. Children will especially enjoy the aquarium. Visitors are able to hold many of the sea creatures and even feed sharks.

The Isla Mujeres is also a great place to visit. You can enjoy the ocean, visit the turtle farm, see some smaller Mayan ruins and visit Garrafon National park. In the park you can enjoy scuba diving and snorkeling and enjoy the quieter beaches.

Chichen-Itza

This is a site of a Mayan city. It has been reconstructed very well and is maintained so that the are pathways and walk ways for strollers and wheelchairs. There are numerous structures from temples to a ball court and you can learn a lot about Mayan culture.

Reserva Naturral Tres Rios

Here you can go kayaking or canoeing through the mangrove swamps. You can also walk, horseback ride, or bike through jungle trails. You can also go snorkeling here and see the coral reefs and tropical fish. One attraction that you shouldn’t miss is the Sensorama. You are blindfolded and led through the jungle to experience it with only touch, smell and hearing.

Xal-Ha

If you want a beautiful place to see the sea life you can’t beat Xal-Ha. This is a natural formation of lakes and grottos with an opening to the sea. So it is like a giant natural aquarium of tropical salt-water fish. There are places here to change and rent snorkeling equipment.

Market 23 and 28

If you are looking for a great place to shop for souvenirs the market is where you should go. Here you will find traditional handcrafted items as well as vendors selling traditional Mexican food.
