Cancn Sites
The largest archaeological site in Cancn is El Rey, located
within walking distance from the Iberostar (formerly Hilton)
Cancn (Blvd. Kukulcn, km. 19). El Rey, known to some as
the playground of the ancient Mayans, had its peak during the
post-Classic period (1250-1630 A.D. ). The site includes plazas
outlined by buildings and platforms that are connected by a 220-
yard path. It is named after a skeleton that was found on the site,
thought to be that of a king (el rey is Spanish for the king).
El Rey is open to tourists from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Entrance
fee is $50 pesos. Next to the Westin Lagunamar, on the highest
point in mostly at Cancn, lies Yamil Luum. The site consists
of two small temples that were likely used as watchtowers and
lighthouses between 500 and 700 years ago.
Part of the excitement of a visit to Cancn is its accessibility to
a world gone by. Remains of the ancient Maya civilization are
scattered throughout the Yucatan Peninsula. Some, like the temple
at the Westin Lagunamar are right in Cancn. Others, like Chichn
Itz and Ek-Balam are in the neighboring state of Yucatan, just a
couple hours drive from the Hotel Zone. All hold the secrets of a
fascinating culture, known the world over for its illustrious
achievements in art, architecture and science.
When touring, your clients will be on the most modern air-
conditioned motor coaches. Guides are experienced and can
speak a variety of languages. Cancns modern road network
makes car rental an attractive option for day outings. As your
clients move around, theyll nd that attractions are well managed,
easily accessed and geared toward creating lasting memories.
Remember, its easy to set up these outings in advance for your
clients saving them time while earning your agency additional
revenue!
You can do this by booking through your favorite tour operator,
talking with the hotel if you book directly, and by using the many
websites and resources we include in this Desk Reference.
Sites to the South and West of Cancn
TULUM (117 km or 90-minutes south of Cancn Airport)
The legendary Mayan site of Tulum (Mayan for walled city)
is one of the loveliest archaeological treasures in Mxico. It is
the only Mayan port city ever discovered, and one of the few to
still be occupied when the Spaniards arrived in the 16th century.
Overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea, Tulum is a gleaming
white-walled city that invites visitors to roam its small temples
and buildings. The site exhibits strong Toltec-Mayan inuences.
More than 60 well-preserved structures can be observed within
three massive walls that surround the site. An evening light and
sound show is now an added attraction.

MUYIL was one of the earliest and longest-inhabited ancient
Mayan sites on the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is
located approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) south of of Tulm and is
located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Sian Kaan
Biosphere Reserve. Tours to Muyil include walks along a lush trail
in the Maya forest to the Chunyaxch lagoon, a boat ride and the
opportunity to oat in pristine, turquoise waters through paths
carved by the Maya thousands of years ago. Tours operated
by Community Tours Sian Kaan allow you to use Maya guides
who live in the reserve and are the ancestors of the Maya who
rst inhabited this costal area. For more information visit www.
siankaantours.org/.
COB (43 km inland from Tulm; 2.5 hours south of the
Cancn Airport) Cob is becoming a popular attraction for visitors
wanting the feeling of discovering an important Mayan site still
shrouded by thick jungle. In fact, only 5 percent of the site has
been excavated. This once great city is now being extensively
studied for the rst time. Built between two lakes during the
Classic Period (300-900 A.D.), Cob was at one time a very large
city with nearly 50,000 inhabitants and extended over 80 square
km. The main pyramid, Nohuch Mul (large hill), is 42 meters
tall (138 feet) and is the tallest in the Yucatn Peninsula. The
pyramid known as the Iglesia (Church), is the second highest.
Much of the site is still unearthed, giving visitors an Indiana
Jones type experience.
CHICHN ITZ is one of the largest and most fascinating
sites in Mexico. It is actually two cities: one that was ruled by
the Maya during the 6th to the 10th century; the other a Toltec-
Mayan city that emerged around the year 1000 A.D. Tell clients
this is not to be missed, and plan to spend at least an entire day
here.
KOHUNLICH is located about 65 km west of Chetumal on
Hwy 186. The road approaches the site from the north and leads
into an enormous central plaza ringed by pyramids and temple
platforms. Settled in 200 B.C., it contains almost 200 mounds
that remain largely unexcavated. The site is best known for its
Temple of the Masks, an Early Classic pyramid whose central
stairway is anked by huge humanized stucco masks. Most
travelers who currently visit the site arrive on cruise ships stopping
in Mahahual/ Costa Maya. There is one hotel near the site, the
Explorean Kohunlich operated by Fiesta Americana Hotels.
EK BALAM is located 51 km northeast of Chichn Itz
and 30 km north of Valladolid, a beautiful Spanish colonial town
that should be combined with any visit to this amazing Maya
archaeological site. Ek Balam was at its height from A.D. 770
to 840, contains 45 structures and provides a rich resource of
information for understanding northern Classic cities.

hat sets the gastronomic offerings of this region
apart is an important culinary movement, with
chefs from all over the world in charge of the
kitchens of hotels and restaurants, resulting in a mosaic of
culinary wealth where food is understood in a different way.
The list of specialties is innite: from Mexican fare with all its
regional varieties to the most rened international cuisine.
There are authentic, innovative, elegant and casual restaurants.
By experimenting with new techniques, using new ingredients
and fusing culinary styles, the chefs achieve dishes that are
a delight for all the senses. It is no surprise that many of the
destinations restaurants are listed among the best in specialized
travel magazines and receive awards from the Michelin guide and
AAA, among other important associations.
The H Award and Crystal Certicate, among others, are a clear
example of the high standards of quality and hygiene offered by
Cancn's restaurants.
Excellence is always a common denominator in the destinations
culinary experience. The beautiful settings are part of the
enjoyment of a stay here: a thatched roof palapa by the sea or
views of sunsets on the beautiful lagoon, both accompanied by
the sound of violins, pianos, saxophones, mariachis and jaraneros.
The fun continues with the nightlife for which Cancn is famous:
discotheques, bars and rst-class shows, accompanied by different
styles and trends in live music played every night, are open seven
days a week.
Once again Cancn breaks the rule of traditional gastronomy,
showing that this is a place where the travelers palate can
experience delicious avors and learn about the subtleties of food,
set against the background of its incomparable natural beauty.
With over 200 restaurant choices, Cancn offers unparalleled
variety. Dining locations tend to be in one of three areas:
Hotel Restaurants: From simple poolside snacks to gourmet
international cuisine, our over 140 hotels host some of our nest
restaurants.
Cancn Island: Dining is concentrated around our many
shopping malls and offers a diverse array of choices.
Cancn City: From delicious tacos to seafood, the regional
Maya cuisine, this area is an attractive alternative.
Some eighty of our over 200 restaurants are considered tourist
class establishments and offer such amenities as live music,
kids play areas, highchairs, handicapped facilities, on-site parking
and even Braille menus.
Cancns dining scene may factor into whether your clients
choose an EP or an all-inclusive (AI)resort. Youll also nd plenty
of dining variety at our more than 60 AI properties, ranging from
Mexican, to Italian, to Asian to steaks.
However, for those who want to fully savor Cancns dining scene,
the EP or MAP option may be more attractive. This allows for new
dining experiences throughout the day, and should your clients
be away from their resort (on one of our popular day tours), they
wont be paying for food and beverage thats not being consumed.
A middle-of-the-road option could be to suggest your clients take
a meal plan at their EP hotel. This can provide meal coverage
and affordability, while at the same time allowing your clients
to dine out during a portion of their stay. Commissionable meal
plans are currently offered at dozens of our EP resorts.
Ready to recommend some dining options to your clients? This
is a great way to promote your Cancn expertise.
Buen Provecho!

ancn boasts one of the most
enticing, challenging and scenic
golf offerings in the Americas.
Course designers include Jack Nicklaus,
Greg Norman, P.B. Dye, Robert Trent
Jones II, Nick Price, Tom Fazio, Tom
Weiskopf and Robert von Hagge.
Quintana Roo State has attracted
the attention of the PGA Tour. The
Mayakob Golf Classic (held each
February) is the only PGA-sanctioned
tournament played outside the US or
Canada. Meanwhile, our newest course
for 2012 is the Cancn Country Club.
With 18 holes, TPC was designed by
Nick Price, with another planned course
to be designed by Tom Fazio. Both
courses have been and will continue
to be developed to the standards of
the PGA Tour's TPC Network, bringing
added prestige and notoriety to the
region.
As of 2012 there are 15 operating
courses in the greater Cancn area.
Cancn guests can easily access four
courses within the Cancn hotel zone.
Just north of the hotel zone is the
Playa Mujeres course, while just south
of the airport are the Moon Palace and
Cancn Country Club (see adjacent
map for locations). Guests choosing
to stay in Puerto Morelos have an
assortment of local links (located to
the south), plus, of course, the Cancn
hotel zone courses.
Courses are full-service venues, each
with a professional pro shop, well-
maintained golf carts, driving range,
putting green, Bermuda fairways and
greens, caddies, top quality equipment
rentals, restaurants, and beverage
cart. All of our courses are open to
the public (some require advance
arrangements for access). Some offer
lower rates for guests of certain hotels,
while others have special twilight
rates for play after 2:00 p.m. In some
cases the green fee will be all-inclusive,
with snacks and beverages.

Island of Sea and Fun
T
his 8-km-long (5 miles) by one-half-km-
wide (.3 miles) wisp of an island sits just 6
km off the coast to the northeast of Cancn.
For those wanting a break from the glitz of Cancn,
Isla Mujeres is a refreshing throwback to the days
before Cancn even existed. The pace is relaxed
and unpretentious, and the setting is pure magic.
Plan on a full day to tour and enjoy the island.
The island (population 15,000) seems to defy
change, even though its swanky neighbor (Cancn)
has spurred the development of some visitor
attractions that have spruced up the islands very
bohemian ambiance. In 2008 a number of new
hotels opened (Isla Mujeres Palace, Casa Sirena).
Most of Islas residents live from diving and shing.
They make very hospitable hosts for both day-
trippers and overnight guests.
T
his little-known barrier island rests off the
Yucatns northern coast. It is about three
times larger than Isla Mujeres. Holbox(hole-
Bowsh is similar to Isla Mujeres of 25 years ago.
The water is clear and shallow several hundred yards
offshore, ideal for wading and collecting the abundant
seashells. Holbox days can be spent snorkeling,
shing, and eating fresh lobster and seafood at small
beachfront palapa-roofed restaurants. From August
to September, the beaches are the spawning ground
of green sea turtles. Of special note is the areas
unique whale shark population, viewable up close
during summer months. Local shermen will take
people out to sh or snorkel, to see the amingo

The tourist ferry dock near the Islands northern
tip is where visitors disembark to enter the islands
main settlement (measuring a mere four blocks by
six blocks). The town is home to simple shops, a
few restaurants, some funky bars, an occasional
brightly painted clapboard house, and the Plaza
Municipal. Mopeds, golf carts, bicycles and taxis
can be easily rented upon arrival.
South of town the islands only road skirts the
western coast past mangrove lagoons, an air strip,
stunning beaches and relaxed seaside restaurants
before looping northbound. The trip to the islands
southern tip takes about 20 minutes. The islands
eastern shore is rugged, rocky, and mostly
undeveloped.
Getting Here: By ferry, three locations in the Hotel
Zone or Puerto Jurez, a travel time of 15 to 20
minutes.
nesting grounds at the Ra Lagartos Nature Reserve,
or take them east around Cabo Catoche to a rarely
visited Mayan ruin at Ecab. Visitors can reach Holbox
via the Cancn-Mrida toll way. Next they travel
north on the road to the village of Chiquill, then by
20-minute ferry or boat ride. Boats depart daily, and
the auto ferry is daily as well. The tour operators
Alltournative and Eco Colors can arrange escorted
tours.
Getting Here: From Cancn, take the road to
Chiquil (approx. 2 hours). Boat departures start at
5 am.
