Club Rotario de Cancún - District 4200 Rotary International

CANCUN  AND THE RIVIERA MAYA
Climate:  Winter in Cancun is defined by Ye Webmaster as any five days the temperature gets down to 68 F.  Typically this happens in December  before  "winter" officially begins.  The rest of the year we enjoy daytime highs of 90-93 F and typical overnight lows of 80.  The difference between Summer and the rest of the year is that August and September can be very humid. While there is no "rainy season", rain is more likely from mid-September through early November than at other times.

Instaltations and Attractions:  Cancun has existed  only since 1974, and the "Riviera Maya" (previously known as the Tulum Corridor) is even newer, so what you can not do here is sight-see ancient colonial sections of the city.  To see the Yucatan's colonial period, zip over to Mérida, 200 miles to the west; when you go, you can stop at Chichen-Itza and see some real antiquities.... pyramids dating  from the Late Classic period of Mayan development (circa 600-1100 A.D.).  

Of course, if you are on this web site, one of the points of interest is the Cancun Rotary Club, itself. Club information is only a click away.

The Beach Life: Most of the activities in Cancun are water oriented; the Caribbean waters of the region are crystal clear with a turquoise tint and, starting at the south end of Cancun Island, the shore is protected by a Barrier Reef located about a half mile off-shore. This Reef, the second longest in the world, is teaming with colorful sea life which can be observed with a simple snorkle and face mask. SCUBA divers say that near-by Isla Mujeres is the best all around dive destination because it has a tremendous abundance of sea life as well as the corals associated with diving at Cozumel.

Land Lubbers:  The non-acquatic oriented visitor can spend time catching the sun's rays on the beach, playing golf on one of the four courses in the Cancun - Riviera Maya region (more opening this year), checking out the archelogical sites, or shopping, shopping, shopping.
