Finding The Best Adult Only Hotel In Cancun

By Jesse Henson

Cancun is a coastal city in Mexico's easternmost state, Quintana Roo on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is located on the Yucatan Channel that separates Mexico from the island of Cuba. The region is sometimes known as the Mexican Caribbean. Cancun is a world-renowned tourist resort. The city centre is located on the mainland which connects to a narrow 7-shaped island where the modern beachfront hotels are located. The meaning of its name is unknown for sure, but if it is connected to the Mayan inhabitants then its possible translation is "Throne of the Snake." As one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, Cancun features year-round tropical temperatures and some of the world's finest and most exotic hotels. A notable feature is the adult-only hotels that suit the needs of adventurous and romantic individuals specifically seeking more than your average family vacation.

Extreme Adventures In Mexico

By Jesse Henson

Mexico is most well known for its beautiful beaches. The glitzy resorts of Cancun and Cozumel offer a wide range of sporting activities. Extreme adventurers though tend to prefer travelling to lesser known places, avoiding the crowds and getting to experience the countries natural treasures while partaking in their favorite adventure sport. Mexico has some fantastic adventure destinations where you can enjoy a variety of activities. Here's a brief outline of some of the places and activities on offer:

Rock Climbing

El Protrero Chico is a craggy limestone outcrop located just northwest of Monterrey. It'll take about an hour to drive there by road and at the base of the crag is a climbers' lodge and campsite where you can settle in for your stay. There are more than 600 bolted sport routes of varying grades. The advantage of this is that the routes are seldom crowded. As a local sport, rock climbing has not really taken off yet in Mexico and most of the climbers visiting El Protreto Chico are from the U.S., Canada and Europe. The limestone rocks provide an interesting assortment of spires, crags and ridges. Because the routes are bolted, beginner climbers can have as much fun as more advanced climbers. There are routes to challenge all levels and abilities of climbers. The friendly atmosphere at the lodge means that after a day of hard climbing you can chill and mingle with the other visitors to the crags.

Hiking and Canyoneering

Hiking is sometimes thought of as a more sedate sport; however, with the wild and challenging terrain in some parts of Mexico it can easily be classified as an extreme adventure sport, especially when it is combined with canyoneering. The Barranca del Cobre, or Copper Canyon as it is more commonly known, is one of the largest and deepest canyon systems in the world. The unusual rock formations, stunning vistas and extreme temperatures make this a premiere adventure sport destination. Exciting hiking and canyoneering tours can be booked through professional operators.

Visiting the Mayan ruins is an opportunity to hike through some of Mexico's most beautiful rainforest reserves. Guided tours provide history on the special cultural sites and en route you can see a wide variety of birds and other forest creatures.

Oaxaca is another area known for its spectacular hiking routes. The Northern Sierra Mountains are reputed to be one of the most well preserved natural regions in Mexico. The trails traverse through rainforests and take in spectacular views. Rapelling is also offered and makes a nice addition to any hiking trip to the area.

Mountain Biking

If you are looking for some moderate trails, there are some superb routes just inland of the famous Yucatan coastline. Tours range from short day trips to longer multiday trips taking you to explore some of the Mayan ruins and other historical sites and places of interest. For hardcore mountain bikers, the gateway to Mexico's best mountain biking region is the town of Chihuahua. From here, hundreds of miles of trails cross through the Copper Canyon area. Terrain varies from steep rocky ascents and descents to slick Moab-style climbs. Some guides that have worked in the region for more than 10 years say there are still so many unexplored routes. Their biggest problem when planning tours is deciding which routes to go on because there are simply too many to choose from.

Kiteboarding

Kiteboarding is a skill that takes some time to master but once most people have got it right they become hooked. With Mexico's beautiful beaches, it's no wonder that kiteboarders from around the world flock to areas such as Cancun, Merida, Tulum and Isla Blanca. The great surf, good winds and warm tropical water make it a kitesurfer's paradise. Combine that with the vibrant beachfront lifestyle and it's sure to be an awesome vacation.

Whitewater Rafting

There are many fantastic rivers for whitewater rafting in Mexico. You can do a single day or multi-day rafting trip riding the rapids of several rivers and visiting some interesting cultural sites in between. Near Mexico City, there is the Rio Fios with class III rapids; from there, you can move on to Xalapa where you can raft the Rio Antigua and the Rio Actopan which have both class III & IV rapids. The Santa Maria River in the northeastern part of Mexico also offers class III multi-day rafting trips. The river flows through an area known for its natural springs and beautiful waterfalls and the nearby towns have interesting markets well worth visiting. - 26707

Riviera Maya Nature Travel

By Erik Parker

When you think of Mexico, what comes to mind? You might think of the beautiful beaches and oceans or the warm weather and sunshine. While these are distinguishing features of the country, other equally intriguing and unusual attractions can be found in the southernmost part of Mexico in the Mexican Caribbean and the Riviera Maya.

This region of Mexico, steeped in Mayan culture, is known as the Yucatan Peninsula and comprises the Mexican states of Quintana Roo (where Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and the Riviera Maya are located), Campeche, and Yucatan. Teeming with tropical rainforests, jungles, mangroves, wildlife, and surface rivers that lead to the Caribbean Sea, this region also contains thousands of cenotes -- fascinating natural phenomena.

One special place where you can find all these natural wonders is

Tres Ros Nature Park

Named after the three rivers ("tres ros") winding across 326 acres of tropical rainforests, Tres Ros Nature Park http://www.haciendatresrios.com/riviera-maya/nature-park/ is a unique place where you can explore nature in its truest form. Whereas the typical eco theme parks provide commercialized vacation activities, Tres Ros offers travelers a more authentic nature experience without contrived tourist attractions.

At Tres Ros, nature activities include snorkeling and diving in one of ten accessible cenotes (cavernous sinkholes with natural wells), kayaking or swimming through mangrove-lined rivers that lead to the Caribbean Sea, guided nature tours through rainforests or the botanical garden and nursery that subsidizes reforestation, bicycling and hiking through the jungle, or taking a SenseAdventure journey. http://www.haciendatresrios.com/riviera-maya/nature-park/nature-park-activities/

Cenotes & Rivers

Here in the Yucatan Peninsula, naturally occurring wells or holes in the ground are known as cenotes, originally called "dzonot" in Mayan and later evolving into the word "cenote" by Spanish colonists. The captivating cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula and the Riviera Maya evolved from many changes in the earth's geology over thousands of years.

Before natural sea levels declined, the Yucatan Peninsula was once a coral reef in the sea that later died and formed a limestone platform. This thick limestone was gradually eroded by acid rain, developing large cavities or caves with stalactites, stalagmites, and columns. When the polar cap melted after the last ice age, these caves flooded and became underground rivers.

The caves that existed above sea level were only partially flooded by the melting polar cap, and their thin roofs eventually collapsed, resulting in freshwater wells called cenotes. These cenotes were a primary water source for the ancient Mayans who also considered them as sacred sites. Four types of cenotes exist: those that are completely underground, partially underground, at land level like lakes or ponds, and open wells that are below land level. Most cenotes range in depth from 16 to 20 feet (5-15 meters), and the water temperature is a refreshing 77 Fahrenheit (25 Centigrade). The fresh water is typically a clear, aquamarine color containing unusual fish and marine life, which makes them ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.

The best news of all Access to this incredible nature park is an exclusive benefit only for guests of Hacienda Tres Ros Resort. http://www.haciendatresrios.com/riviera-maya/ - 26707
