Akumal, Mexico
Akumal means "Place of the Turtle" in the Mayan language, and if you snorkel here, you just might see one swimming alongside you. (Don’t touch it, though. That’s prohibited by law.) You’ll definitely see coral and beautiful fish in the clear, sparkling waters. This tourist-friendly little town is about an hour south of Cancun—but it seems light-years away.

Cancun has great hotels and fabulous nightlife, not to mention its stunning beaches, but it's just the gateway to getting to know the Mayan world. There are water parks, nature reserves and archaeological sites that you really shouldn't miss out on. Even if your main interest is relaxing and taking it easy, you should still check out some of these Cancun day trips during your stay.
