Cancun has become extremely popular in recent years with both Americans and Europeans. The white sandy beaches, the blue Caribbean sea, and the many attractions in the area have made sure that Cancun has become one of the world’s most attractive destinations.
Although the destination’s attractiveness is great, the city is still largely unspoiled – which means that you can really feel the Caribbean atmosphere of the local town.

Sea turtles on the beach and giant whales in the sea

If you are visiting Cancun between May and September, you can experience some amazing natural phenomena. When darkness falls and people are going to bed, it’s the turtles’ turn to use the beach’s white sand. They swim in from their position far out in the Caribbean Sea to the sandy beach, where they slowly but surely find a peaceful place. Here they dig a deep hole in the sand, and lay their eggs. It’s an absolutely unique experience that does not take place in many other places in the world.

The hotels in Cancun have reached an agreement that consists of educating workers from the hotels to dig up the eggs and bring them to safety in the so-called net. They do this to protect the soon to come turtles. When the eggs hatch, they take the little turtles to the sea so they have the best chance of survival. It is an unimaginable and almost unreal experience.

Another unique experience is to swim with whale sharks. The whale shark is the largest fish, and can be up to 16 meters long. Some of us at USATours have swam with these ‘Monsters’, which despite their size are not dangerous. Fottunately, they only eat plankton. You can also experience swimming with whale sharks on the west coast in the town of Puerto Vallarta.

Despite the alligators, you can still water ski and do other fun water sports on the lagoon, gives an extra touch to the holiday. If you think this sounds like paradise, then you are right – it is!
