Cancun is one of Mexico’s top shopping destinations due to its diverse offer when it comes to the finest brands found at unbeatable prices. As a border area, the value added tax is 10%, 5% less than in other parts of the country. With 2000 stores distributed in twelve shopping centers located in the Hotel Zone and downtown, tourists will find irresistible bargains from famous designer brands to local merchandise.
Since Prehispanic times, each November, Mexicans remember those who have passed away and come back to share with living relatives. Each region has a different way of praising their ancestors through rituals and ceremonies like the picturesque Mayan tradition of Hanal Pixan or supper of the souls.

Travelocity looks at expectations for fall and winter including where to find the values as well as tactics for “defensive travel” – both are essential in the seasons ahead.
Cancun is one of those few places where we can find nature’s richness and diversity at its best. Through its reefs, mangroves and jungles, taking some time off the beach to explore wildlife is an essential part of every trip to Cancun, which offers a unique glimpse at fabulous sceneries under the waters and above where you can be in direct contact with wildlife.
Good news for more than 400,000 American couples planning for a wedding is that a civil registry office will open at the Hotel Zone in Cancun making it easier, cheaper and convenient for couples to tie the knot. Foreigners will only be required to have a passport as documentation.
