KM, Mexico in shape resembles a loop, stretched from the north-west to the southeast, narrowing closer to the cage of tehuantepec (tehuantepec) and expanding again on Yucatan. In the West and south, the territory of Mexico is washes by the Pacific Ocean. California Peninsula I. Large land Shares the California Bay. The East Coast of Mexico is washed by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and the East Coast of Yucatan is issued to the Caribbean Sea. The country's land borders separate it from the United States in the north and from Guatemala and Belize in the south-east.

Mexico - mountain country. The two mountain ranges in the north and south of the country are framed by a group of wide plateau of the central part of Mexico, known as Altiplano Central. In the south of Mount Sierra Madre del Sur, they extended the territory of the states of Germero and Oaksak to the Isthmus of Tehunpekek. From the height, the narrow line of Nynin passes along the Pacific coast to Guatemala. These lowlands are the highlands of chiapass, which goes into the territory of hot tropical wet forests, stretching also to Guatemala. The plains and the lowlands of the Yucatan Peninsula are covered with tropical savannas.

Thanks to the geographical position in Mexico, there are countless natural and vegetable zones, and the mountainery of the landscape contributes to the creation of microclumatic zones. Despite the potentially large ecological diversity, the influence of human life is felt here. To the Spanish conquest of almost 2/3 countries was covered with forests.

Beaches without wavesin Cancun, this is the beaches from 1 to 10 km, Before the bend, which is called Punta Cancun.

Local airlines often have shares for which from Mexico City in Cancun and back can be flown for 100-150 dollars.

Initially, I knew that in the cancun itself, I would not have wanted to relax: I do not like the altitude of concrete on the seafront, the night dusovka and all inclusive hotels. Yes, and prices for everything in Cancun is much more expensive than in other parts of Mexico. But on the snow-white beach and the Turquoise Caribbean Sea wanted to see 😎 therefore it was decided to swell one night in Cancun before

It was planned that we would arrive on the eve of 12 days, we will take, take up to the hotel and even still have time to buy in the sea and slightly tan in front of our 12-day journey.

Mexico City - Cancun Flight lasts about 2 hours, even dilated cookies, juice and coffee.
We flew to Cancun. We exactly according to the schedule, left the plane and got into the shower! And according to the surrounding landscapes with swamps instead of the fields, it was clear that the rain is not the first day. Of course, it ruined the mood. A little waiting for a person who meets us from the rental office of American Car Rental, we went to their office, designed and took the car and went to look for our hotel.

Hotel in Cancun by the sea

Hotel I booked on Booking.com. Chose the most inexpensive hotel in Cancun's hotel zone. Our hotel cost us $ 64 plus taxes 14%, total 73 dollars. Of course, it was possible to find the hotel much cheaper, in the city of Cancun, but I really wanted to live on the very shore Caribbean.

It is located 11.5 kilometers of Cancun Beach. Settlement into the number according to the rules of the hotel at 15:00 and despite the fact that there was a shower and looked like the hotel had many free numbers, it was not necessary to settle for the last time 😥. Well, this is not Thailand, where it is always a question with an early settlement dealt without problems, even in.

Leaving the car in the hotel's private parking (by the way, the hotel parking is not very comfortable. Located in the basement, and there are no stairs or elevators in the lobby, you have to go across the street, but in such a rain that we found in Cancun is not comfortable in Cancun) We went to the nearest shopping center, which is literally across the road from.

Flamingo Mall - a small shopping center, more precisely, I would call it not shopping centerAnd a place where souvenir shops are collected under the same roof and one small store with cookies-beer-water. Here is the restaurant Steak House. Since we still wanted to eat, in it and lunch. Prices after Mexico City seemed not at all cheap. But dishes were all very tasty 😎

Delicious spaghetti with seafood! Still remember 🙂

Attempting went to the hotel where the numbers finally got the keys.

I booked the cheapest number (a little room, located in a quiet part of the hotel, according to reviews - in the semi-base room and without a window or with a small window). We were given a huge family room overlooking the pool and the Caribbean Sea. It seems that the hotel was the floor empty, and we came only for one night, so they decided to settle us in a good number 😎

In the room two rooms, each huge bed, TV, refrigerator and even coffee maker 😎

And most importantly - a huge balcony with a magnificent view of the Caribbean Sea. It is a pity to enjoy the views of the sea from the balcony we did not work - the rain did not stop ...

It would not be rain - you can spend a great time on the balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea :)

Walk in the rain and wind on Cancun Beach

But it did not really work: I have not seen such rain and wind! They tried to plunge into the Caribbean Sea, but we were kicked out of there. I wanted to swim in the pool, but the water, and the air was cold.

I'm trying to swim in the pool 🙂

I had to go to the room to warm 😎

By the way, we caught WiFi in the room, although in the description of the hotel it was said that free WiFi is only in the lobby, and in the rooms is paid.

That's how we were not lucky with rest in Cancun. We went to save at 9 pm, and at 6 am I already got up to go further. The first days in general easily got up at 6 am, the difference in time Mexico with Moscow was affected: 10 hours.

In the morning we pulled a beautiful sunset over the Caribbean Sea

And finally, a small video from our balcony 😎
