Cancun, Mexico: Underground River Holidays
Saturday, February 7th, 2009
Cancun is on the East side of Mexico, on the Yucatán Peninsula, known as the Mexican Caribbean. Home to stunning white sand beaches, great weather and an all round idyllic holiday feel. There is something for everyone, from shops to bars and traditional to modern. Cancun is great for families or for a great party holiday.
The whole of the Yucatán Peninsula hides an underground secret. Made from limestone the peninsular has become an easy target for underground rivers to be formed which in turn have created a ‘Swiss cheese’ type formation full of holes. Some of the rivers in this vast system run for over 96 miles! It is this immense quantity of water that helps to keep the peninsular lush with jungle. Full of huge Stalactites and Stalagmites you can descend into a Cenote (sink hole) and swim or dive in this vast underwater oasis.
