5 of the best things to do in Cancún

Located at the northeast coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, this L-shape resort island, alongside a city home to hundreds of thousands of Mexicans, many of whom work in the tourism industry, was essentially created by the Mexican government in 1974.

Flying with the 'bird men' of Papantla, Veracruz

They fly through the air with the greatest of ease, these Totonac "bird men" re-enacting ancestral traditions in their home town of Papantla, located on forested hills a four-hour drive or one-hour flight from Mexico City in this country's northern Totonacapán region of Veracruz state (it's four hours by bus from the city of Veracruz).

Re: Cancun -- I'm looking for a luxury hotel in Cancun for spring break with my college-aged son. I do not want to be in the middle of spring breakers. However, I'd like a luxury hotel, that's quiet, in a good location, on a good beach.... with great facilities. Recommendations, please.

MexicoGuru.com is a good place for searching for accommodations but it is more in tune with Mexico lovers who want an experience that large hotel chains don´t provide.

For instance our state has www.morelostravel.com which covers everything a traveler would need to make a choice in where to stay.

I have found the meta engine www.hotelscombined.com to be quite useful. It covers a lot of ground. But to ferret out hidden gems requires an exponential investment of time doing research in non search related sites.

www.pricetravel.com and www.bestday.com are two of the most popular sites to search for hotels in Mexico. Locogringo.com also has a good selection in the Riviera Maya.

What is the best search engine for hotels in Mexico? No problem if it is entirely in Spanish. Thanks!
