What to do when it is cold in Cancun?

Winter is the perfect season when it comes on being outdoors when you are in Cancun, and if you are vacationing you will probably find it a little bit amusing, especially when walking on the streets, you may find that most of the locals are all covered up, wearing a sweater, a leather jacket or other really warm clothing, while you are on shorts, a thin shirt and sandals, looking so fresh with a cold beer in your hand and your D&G sunglasses. But don’t worry, locals won’t be staring at you like thinking, what is this person doing dressed like that in an 18°C weather??? Isn’t He / She freezing??? All the opposite, they will see you with a smile in their faces and you may laugh too, but when if not now? , that local citizens can be wearing their winter garments that have being locked in their closets for so long!
So for winter time, here are some recommendations what to do:

1. Archeological sites are perfect places to start with! Finally, you can walk around relaxed, without sweating, and you might have all the energy to see more than at summertime, when after an hour walking you felt like you wanted to jump into the inviting crystal water of the nearby cenote, the nearest pool or simply refresh in the Caribbean Sea, but immediately!
• Chichen Itza,
• Tulum
• Coba
• Uxmal.

2. Explore Cancun by foot (Downtown and Hotel Zone)
• Downtown: Getting there is very easy and fast, once you get off the bus, you can go walking a few minutes just to get to Mercado 28 or Market 28, a very popular handcrafts shopping spot for tourists and locals. Parque de las palapas is on the way to the market, try a churros, an esquite (corn with cream, lime juice and chilli) or a marquesita (like waffle).

Cancun, A Hot Place In The Cold Days

Welcome 2010...and welcome climate change! The Weather in Cancun is not what it used to be. Today thermometers were showing 3°C temperature in the first hours at night. Not the typical weather for a Caribbean resort such as Cancun. Houses here are built to be fresh and to keep freshness inside, nowadays you cannot escape using air conditioning.
Lately, summers have become hotter, so you just lower the temperature on the A/C, problem solved, and winters have become colder, so you just switch on the heater and... wait a minute, there are no heaters at homes and hotels in Cancun, is not needed, or at least it wasn’t , with temperatures reaching sometimes 42°C and almost 100% humidity at summertime, who would even have the horrendous idea of installing a device to warm your house or hotel room? But today... I guess it is something that we need to reconsider. So, with no heater in the rooms at night, what can be done?

Well, you have two options: in case that you want to sleep, just put over the bed 3 or 4 blankets (wonderful and colourful Mexican handmade blankets are found at any places you go in Mexico, you can even bring them home as a souvenir!) ... and problem solved!

However, we have a better option for you: come on! Let’s go party! Visit Coco Bongo in the heart of Cancun Hotel Zone, and we definitely guarantee that you won’t need heater anymore! The atmosphere, the super Las Vegas live shows and the greatest music hits will keep you warm! And we have not even mention the Tequila that always keeps you warm!

During the day, it is simply gorgeous that the weather is cooler!!! It is amazing and pleasant for all those, who enjoy warm, but not too warm, so for all, who come from a non-tropical climate!
Just a few weeks before, you could see people coming from the beach, searching for an airconditioned shelter with a shiny skin due to the sweating. Tourists either entered the luxury shopping malls, just to freshen themselves or others didn’t even think about leaving their hotel: they rather sat in the bar of the hotel drinking a frozen cocktail (a very attracting option).
Now, many tourists chose any of the outdoor activities. The list is very long, so don’t worry, you will definitely find a perfect one that suits you! Check out our next post!
