Cancun is a cheap city to fly into, however if you are adventurous and on a budget consider the 6 hour bus ride down to Chetumal for an adventure in Belize. Once in Belize in Corozal Town, consider a trip to Orange Walk Town if you like bird watching.
For those of you staying in the Cancún area, Puerto Morelos is a quiet beach town if you don't like noise. If you do like noise head to Playa del Carmen.
Cancún
Apart from the island tourist zone (part of the world's second-longest coral reef), the Mexican residential section of the city, the downtown part of which is known as "El Centro", follows a master plan that consists of "supermanzanas" (superblocks), giant trapezoids with a central, open, non-residential area cut in by u-shaped residential streets.
There are some small Mayan vestiges of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Cancún. El Rey (Las Ruinas del Rey) is located in the Hotel Zone. El Meco, a more substantial site, is found on the mainland just outside the city limits on the road north to Punta Sam.
