The 8 Best Scenic Walking Areas in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

This is THE street or avenue in Cacun hotel zone... it goes all over the island and in one side you have the Nichupte Lagoon and in the other the wonderful hotels by the sea. If you like to walk or jog this is the perfect place to do it.

This is a major road that cuts through the center of Cancun. You can find just about anything you are looking for on this Avenue. The ADO bus station, pretty much every available bank in Mexico, money exchanges, local bus stops, restaurants, shopping malls, bars and clubs can all be found on this strip of Cancun. Av. Tulum between Calles Coba and Chichen Itza is pretty much the heart. It is flanked by "Las Palapas" on the West and "Palacio Municipal" and Av. Nader on the East. I like to think of this area as the true "Cancun Centro".
4. Malecon de Chetumal

The malecon is definitely somewhere to visit when in Chetumal. Not only will you be right on the sea side but there are a few restaurants along it and even a park with a really high slide into the water. Be careful, however, as the sea wall is not high so unattended kids could easily fall in. The malecon is especially great at night, as there are countless little carts selling stuff like churros, machacadas, juices and marquesitas. It is a nice place when you are looking to take your kids for a little evening stroll.

In reading some of the prior reviews, I am saddened but not surprised. We from the USA seem to want things presented to us easily and automatically. Mexico is different! Yes, there is a long, single-lane road to drive into these ruins. No, you are not allowed to climb on the pyramid, however, that is clearly posted upon entrance to the site. We absolutely LOVED this site. The city was one of the largest in ancient Mexico...perhaps over 60,000 people lived here! We felt so fortunate to be able to visit and enjoy the beautiful remains of a great civilization. So much more can be discovered and I hope some day it will be. We received great advice from the gentlemen who worked at the site. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

The malecon stretches for miles and is expanding. The water has little activates because the it's not accessible from the malecon. Notwithstanding, it's a great place to stroll with your families and watch people. Very few buildings directly attached to the malecon, but this appears to be changing with the occasional restaurant being built.
