Chichen Itza (Chi'ch'èen Ìitsha') Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Chichen Itza"

Quote:
Visiting Chichen Itza was a very surprising activity. I am not much for the sit and stare at bricks kind of thing but I made an exception and went to this historical site. The more things I saw there the more this place intrigued me. It was very mind boggling how these Mayan people actually built these enormous structures. Our tour guide also talked about how the Mayans would play certain games for days at a time in front of large crowds. They still played these games even though they new the loser would be killed. Outside of the main ruin area are tons of paths filled with merchants trying to sell or barter imitation Mayan artifacts. Normally you can get them to go to dirt cheap prices.

Coco Bongo Best of IgoUgo

Attraction

Quote:
Location: Hotel Zone Admission: 40 USD 44 Pesos for Open Bar. Coco Bongo was my favorite nightclub in Cancun. It was a night club mixed with a little Vegas flair. They had amazing acrobatic shows almost every hour. My favorite shows were the rope dancers. People would be lifted into the air on what looked like twisted sheets and they would spin and flip and twirl around the sheets. I wish I could do that. Between the shows they played all assortments of music from the YMCA to Sandstorm. People danced up on chairs and bars to escape the crowd on the floor. Luckily I found this small raised platform about a foot off the ground to dance on. During the musical intermissions of th...Read More

Hard Rock Café Best of IgoUgo

Attraction

I loved my Hard Rock Cafe Cancun experience. I have been to many Hard Rock's around the world and this one was one of the best. They had great service and an AMAZING band playing cover songs. I have found that Hardrock always has great food and even better drinks!. I would suggest getting the B-59 shooter! YUM YUM!

Open Bar Best of IgoUgo

Story/Tip

Quote:
Open bar writs bands are definitely the way to go in Cancun. Its so much easier to just walk up to the bar and order with out having to dig out money in a crowded area. It makes for a funner and worry free time. (Do not buy an open bar band for a bar if your only going to have one or two drinks)I suggest an open bar wrist band mostly for nightclubs. They are sold by people on the street in front of the discotech of choice.
