1) Chichen Itza is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico, and for good reason. The largest archeological site in Yucatán is Chichen-Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of immense cultural importance. Chichen Itza is perhaps the largest, most famous and most accessible Mayan site, about 125 kilometers west of Cancun and Cozumel. This ancient Mayan ruin, a major tourist stop on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, is a rugged place of towering pyramids, massive temples, jaw-dropping sculpted columns, and life-and-death sports fields.
2) MUSA Museo Subacuático de Arte: in 2009 a monumental contemporary art museum was formed in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres and Punta Nizuc (very close to our department). MUSA consists of more than 500 monumental life-size permanent sculptures and is one of the world's largest and most ambitious artificial underwater art attractions.

3) Tulum: Enjoy the beauty of the Mayan ruins with the Caribbean Caribbean ocean at the same time.
