Between history, exuberant nature and pulsating nightlife and the waves of Cancun. The joy of the Caribbean is a place of secrets and beauties that you need to give a chance to experience.

Follow this thread and discover a little more about the reasons you have to discover that incredible place!

Where is Cancun?

Where is Cancun? At first, this question is easy to answer. Cancun is in Mexico!

But, in which part of this country rich in history and great beauty? A paradisiacal city surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, located on the coast of the state of Quintana Roo, on the shore of the Yucatan Peninsula, in the northwest.

By the way, the city is very distant from the capital of the state it is part of, being 370 km from Chetumal. The other important city in the region is Playa del Carmen, 70 km from it, one of the tourist cities part of the Riviera Maya.

The region is wonderful, therefore, when it is named one of the Caribbean islands, it is nothing to look forward to!

How to get to Cancun?

To check it out, in Brazil, you can currently pick up a flight directly to the Cancun airport which is, more or less, 15 km from the hotel zone, where you will probably find it.

I say currently, because it was a little while back you would need to go to Mexico City, to then get there.

But I didn't think it was a quick trip, with most of you going to cities connected to other airports before your final destination. Lima, Bogotá, Panama City and Mexico City itself have certain stops, depending on which airline you choose.

Despite this, if you want a certain comrade, here it is: find which way to go, look for a transfer service to get around Cancun. The public and taxi services in the region can be a little confusing!

When to go to Cancun

Contrary to what you might imagine, Cancun has moments of low season – it's not just a holiday, but it's just that. However, there has been a long period when the city is completely occupied by tourists – in high season.

These seasons are ideal for you to determine the time when you want to visit the city. 

The local summer occurs between the months of July and September. Therefore you will encounter high temperatures and high levels of humidity, which may increase the sensation of heat.

It seems perfect, doesn't it? Pois é same! But for now, it's not the middle of the furacões season. Despite this, there is no need to worry, the region is not very 'found' by them, even though it is not a corridor of Caribbean furaces.

The chuva season happens after the summer, and the custom extends from September to October – even within the season two furacões. Even though everything is in the region now, no one is worried as much as it is.

So, the remaining months, corresponding to winter and spring, are what you are looking for. Dry, even with high temperatures, provides the most pleasant balance that Cancun can offer.

High Season and Cancun wave

The high season runs from December to February, during the local winter. The clothes have been very sought after during the following months, until the end of March, thanks to holidays and commemorative dates in the northern hemisphere, such as Spring Break.

With higher prices, the high season is perfect for those who enjoy festivities and want to experience the cosmopolitan atmosphere that the city enjoys during that time.

In short, you don't want so much confusion, or ideally go for the high season and these commemorative janelas, but now that we are still part of the local spring, where you will be able to take advantage of the weather but not the chaos created by a crowd of tourists.
