Week in CAncun, Mexico Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Mayan ruins and Tulum a must-see!

Quick Tips:

The water is safe! They have installed a water filtration system in all of Cancun just for us foreigners! So you don't need to bring the charcoal pills. Bring your camera, plenty of batteries, and book more than a week! It goes sooo fast.

Best Way To Get Around:

Best bet is the 60-cent bus. Safe and they come every 3 minutes.

Royal Solaris Cancun All-Inclusive Best of IgoUgo
