Start your journey with a visit to Scorpion’s Temple or explore the wonders of Rio Secreto's underground caves.
From embarking on a team snorkeling expedition in the Barrier Reef to unwinding on Playa Delfines’ white sands, Cancún has plenty of surprises awaiting!
Here are some must-do team-building activities to add to your Cancún itinerary:
Stroll down Avenida Kukulkan: Boulevard Kukulcan, also called Avenida Kukulkan, runs over 22 miles from downtown Cancun all along the hotel zone between the beaches of the Caribbean Sea and the Nichupte Lagoon. It’s one of Cancún’s most famous avenues!
Discover Playa Delfines: Playa Delfines is one of the most scenic beaches in Cancún. Lie on the white sand and take in the turquoise waves and endless views. This is the only beach in the hotel area without the backdrop of a high-rise hotel!
Visit Scorpion’s Temple: This temple is a small ruin accessible from the Westin Lagunamar. It was constructed between 1200 and 1550 AD and the ruins are maintained by Park Royal Piramides. You can’t miss this piece of archeological history!
Explore the Cenotes in the Riviera Maya: The Riviera Maya is also home to a unique natural gem: the cenotes. Cenotes are formed by the dissolution of limestone rocks, offering an unforgettable experience! Two of the most iconic cenotes are Cenote Dos Ojos and Gran Cenote.
Arrecife National Park in Puerto Morelos: This protected coral reef is located at the north of the coast of Quintana Roo. It contains some of the best preserved elkhorn coral colonies in the Mexican Caribbean! If you have a team of nature lovers, this is a prime destination!
Visit Chichén Itzá: Chichén Itzá was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality. Visit the BallPark, the Observatory, and the Monk Convent!
Take a Trip to Rio Secreto Caves: Experience this underground river with thousands of stalactites and stalagmites. It's like stepping back in time to witness something mysterious and truly spectacular. A great adventure to share with your team, right?
Scuba Diving in Isla Mujeres: Suitable to all levels, many of the sites are shallow reefs with little to no current. For those with an advanced certification, a few deep wrecks await. There are arches, ledges and even a few caves ripe for exploration.
Get to Know Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve: Sian Ka'an is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Nowadays, it remains the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean. Possibly the most astonishing part of the Yucatan peninsula, it is located 2 hours south of Cancun near the small town of Tulum.
Adventure Time at Xplor Park: This adventure park promises a thrilling team adventure! Glide by the tallest zip-lines, drive through flooded caverns and make your way through the jungle on amphibious vehicles. Swim through a 65-million-year old stalactite river. Team bonding to the highest level!
Climbing the Pyramid At Coba: The pyramid is 138 feet tall and it was the heart of the city. Unlike other Maya sites, you can still climb this one. The 120 stone steps are much steeper than they look!
