Description

Does Cancun actually has a history besides parties and Hotelzone?

It does!

Come with me on this walking tour, to get to know the Heart of Cancun, the place where all the life happens besides the Hotelzone. Learn about the beginnings of the modern, young city during the 1970ies but also the history of what was before, it's connection with Mexico and how it went from being a tiny village to the tourist hotspot of today.

You will see every important spot around the center of Cancun located around the Tulum Avenue. From monuments to the Townhall, the first market, the Parque de las Palapas and more.

Filled in with knowledge, history, tips and tricks about the city and your stay here you will learn how to get around and what to avoid.

There is more to tell than you think. Even the name Cancun has a meaning in the Mayan language. (Can you guess it?).
This is a real free walking tour. Once you arrived at the meeting point you won't need any vehicle or entrance fees! At the end you just give what is was worth for you. Come along and enjoy!!
