When traveling to Cancun, some people may like to discover not just beautiful beaches, but also what is Cancun Downtown like. Therefore, in this article we talk about 5 places you may find interesting at Cancun Downtown. Check it out!
Malecón Tajamar (Tajamar Pier). Few years ago, this place was a mangrove area. Nowadays it has an attractive pier where friends and family gather to practice sports on wheels, yoga classes, outdoor activities or appreciate a beautiful sunset.
Parque de las Palapas (Palapas Square). One of the most central points of the city. It is a group of adjacent squares where government-quality events are held, as well as artistic exhibitions, talent shows and tons of regional food. From quesadillas, sopes and huaraches to elotes and esquites. If you want to give yourself a local whim, we recommend you visit this place. Of course, you will have to forget the diet for a while.
Parque Ecológico Kabah (Kabah Ecologic Park): The lung of Cancun. It is a conserved green area where you can find a diversity of animals, mainly coaties. It has a small museum where images of the beginnings of the city and the hotel zone are exhibited.
Mercado 28 (28 Market): Small shops, souvenirs and ceviche. It’s another iconic spot in Cancun, where hundreds of local merchants gather to offer the product of their work. You will also find a good number of restaurants; many of which serve sea food. A ceviche with lemon? Yes please!
Parque Luum Pakul (Luum Pakul Square, in mayan ‘place of exchange’): Also known as “the hippie square”, it is a square where hundreds of artisans join to offer their work. From tattooists to 70’s styled clothes sellers. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays bands and musicians also gather to play outdoors.
As you can see, there are plenty places to visit not just in Cancun’s Hotel Zone but also in Downtown. Remember to book your transportation so you can enjoy Cancun every single minute!
