Malecon Tajamar

Malecon Tajamar is a boardwalk around the lagoon. You can take a stroll down Malecon Tajamar and watch as the hotel zone starts illuminating the horizon as the sun sets behind the hotels.

Jardín del Arte, Nichupte Lagoon

As you make your way into the Hotel Zone, you’ll be able to enjoy the views of the Nichupte Lagoon. This is a classic setting for many tourists, but if you want to take some cool pics, find yourself at Jardin del Arte, this is a boardwalk right in the middle of the hotel zone. The place has little kiosks and benches in which you can take a picture with the amazing lagoon as background. Ideal for a romantic photoshoot, or a casual day!

El Meco Archaeological site

Archaeological sites are amazing photo settings! The texture of the materials and the natural surroundings are the perfect match. El Meco is archaeological outside the hotel zone, on the way to Playa Mujeres, that not many know about. This place is less crowded than other famous archaeological sites in the area, so you can take pictures taking the time you need and without worrying about people photobombing your pics.

CANCUN sign

Many that come to Cancun, come looking to snap a pose in the famous “CANCUN” sign. Lucky you, many hotels have now their own sign with colorful letters and great views of the ocean.

The best part is that almost everywhere in Mexico you’ll find this type of big sign, so you can take pictures of every destination you go to and collect them.
