What is the difference between Cancun and Tulum?
Cancun is a large resort city with high-rise hotels, an airport, and a nightlife strip (Zona Hotelera). Tulum is a more bohemian, eco-conscious destination with smaller boutique hotels, cenotes, Mayan ruins overlooking the sea, and a more selective nightlife scene. Both are on the Caribbean Riviera Maya coast.

What is a cenote?
A cenote is a natural sinkhole exposing a pool of groundwater, typically connected to an extensive underground river system. The Yucatan Peninsula has thousands of cenotes, many of which can be swum in. The most accessible are near Tulum and Chichen Itza (the Cenote Ik Kil is famous).
Is Oaxaca worth visiting in Mexico?
Oaxaca is one of Mexico's most rewarding destinations: a UNESCO World Heritage colonial city, extraordinary gastronomy (mole negro, tlayudas, mezcal), the Zapotec archaeological site of Monte Alban, and colorful indigenous textile markets. It is an essential stop for food and culture enthusiasts.
What currency does Mexico use?
Mexico uses the Mexican Peso (MXN). US dollars are accepted in tourist areas but at poor rates. Use ATMs for pesos.
