Cancun's Freaky, Fantastic, and Flat-Out Bizarre Attractions
Beyond the typical beaches and bars, Cancun hides a bizarre and fascinating collection of attractions, from an underwater museum filled with sunken statues and eerie cave cenotes to vibrant pink lakes, iguana-infested ruins, and even a leaning lighthouse.
Cancun. You think you know it. Sparkling turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, all-inclusive buffets, and probably a few too many margaritas. But peel back the layers of this spring break paradise, and you'll find a side of Cancun that's less "swim-up bar" and more "wait, what the actual shell?"
Forget the crowded main drags and predictable tourist traps. We're here to expose the weird, the wonderful, and the downright wild corners of this Yucatan hotspot. From submerged statues to leaning towers and lakes the color of pepto-bismol, buckle up, buttercups – you're about to see Cancun like never before, through the jaded, slightly-amused eyes of the Mexicanist.
