Cancun

Now that spring break is over and our bank accounts are empty, we can start saving up for spring break 2015! Having missed out on the fun in the sun this year, I intend on splurging on a trip next year to Cancun, the land of blue waters and reckless college kids. College spring break and Cancun are as synonymous as peanut butter and jelly. However, Cancun has more to offer than just resorts filled with party loving 20 somethings. It is actually a beautiful city with Mayan cultural influences. Some still know Cancun as the gateway to El Mundo Maya (The Mayan World). There are archaeological sites dating back hundreds of years within some of the resorts

Development of the city began in the 1970s with hotels and  a city inspired landscape. developers began to create a place where tourists would feel welcome and enjoy themselves. The city was built with tourism in mind and today, is host to 3.3 million tourists a year. One of the more important reasons people visit Cancun is because of it nearly perfect climate, with an annual average of about 80 degrees. Along with the beautiful weather tourists are attracted to the white sandy beaches and exotic native flowers and plants. Cancun is undeniably beautiful.

Cancun is also host to some of the most exciting night life scenes around (particularly attractive to college kids). The city is host to hundreds of bars and night clubs, ranging from disco to tropical themes. However caution must be taken while hanging out at night. Per usual, never take a drink from a stranger and never leave phones, cameras, or purses out in the open. They may happen to disappear. Also when out and about in Cancun, never be wandering alone. If you get lost and happen to wander outside the limits of the resort, you will find yourself in big trouble, as mexico is currently home to terrible gang and drug violence. Just remember always travel with a friend and do not wander. BE SAFE! BE SMART!

With that being said, if you want a spring break like the ones you see in movies and MTV then Cancun is the place for you. Save your pennies!

    Just looking at these pictures makes me want to cry. I’m sure we’re all sick of the winter here. But Cancun is beautiful. I’d love to go some day too! And as you said spring break would be the perfect time. I think everyone here could use a little sun every once in a while. And not only is there a hopping night life, but there’s so much to do during the day and so much culture around you. Though I’ve never been, just from what I’ve heard, Cancun sounds like an ideal vacation spot.

    I like the light-hearted nature of your passion posts. They detract from the heaviness of other issues that people like me are discussing on their civic issues and passion blogs. I like that your brought attention to the culture and ancient architecture there, demonstrating that Cancun can be attractive to young people for multiple reasons. As someone who has never even traveled out of the US, this is somewhere I would love to visit!

    Cancun is such a beautiful place! I’ve visited Cancun some time ago and I would really like to go back. Like you said Cancun is big for college kids, and that’s why my friends and I are trying to go next year during winter or spring break. Especially if you go to an all inclusive resort I never felt like leaving. You can eat and stay as much as you like. Cancun, in my personal opinion, is worth visiting!
