Cancún

Cancún, located on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, is known for its beaches, resorts, and nearby Mayan ruins like Chichén Itzá and Tulum. The local currency is the Mexican peso (MXN), though U.S. dollars are accepted in many tourist areas. Prices vary—restaurants and hotels in the Hotel Zone can be expensive, while downtown is generally more affordable. The weather is hot and humid year-round, with a dry season from November to April and a rainy season with possible hurricanes from June to October.
