Chacchoben Mayan Ruins in Mexico

Posted on December 19, 2010 by Gabriel Bravo

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins in Mexico

In the heart of the Yucatan, one can find the Chacchoben Mayan ruins. The archeological site is actually very close to Cancun. At just 110 miles south of Tulum, which is about an hour from Cancun, it’s only a few hours away. The Chacchoben Mayan ruins in Mexico are actually named “The place of the Red Corn” in Mayan after the central village that surrounded the ancient structures. It is estimated that the Chacchoben Mayan ruins are approximately from the year 700 AD.

In 2002, the Chacchoben Mayan ruins were opened to the public by the Mexican governing body on Archeology (INAH). The excavation and restoration was done mainly in the 90′s, but this was long after the Chacchoben Mayan ruins were discovered by an archeologist from the US, Dr. Peter Harrison, in the 70′s. The initial discovery of the site was made by Harrison after he flew over the typically “flat” Yucatan terrain in a helicopter and discovered several large hills at Chacchoben.

To date, three Mayan pyramids have been excavated at Chacchoben, but several more await there revelation. Some unique features of the Chacchoben Mayan ruin site in Mexico is the red pigmentation originally painted on the structures. Mexican archeologist have painstakingly preserved much of the “redness” of the pyramids and other structures. There is also an impressive Mayan “Stela” (large stone slab) at the base of the main pyramid at Chacchoben with a hieroglyphic inscription.

For anyone thinking of visiting Cancun or the Costa Maya, the Chacchoben Mayan ruins are a must-see. They are some of the most impressive and widely-visited in Mexico. We offer unique getaways online like a Mayan ruins and snorkeling package that can be tailored to accommodate your planned stay in Cancun. Be sure to call us at 1-800-401-7021 for more information.

Little Effect on Cancun Travel by Mexicana Airline

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Gabriel Bravo

Cancun Travel by Mexicana Airlines

When Mexicana Airlines shut down operations once and for all this last August, two things were speculated: 1) Travel to Cancun would be temporarily affected; 2) Another airline would fill the void. It turns out that the speculations were only half-right.

According to the DGAC in Mexico, very little has been affected in terms of Cancun travel by Mexicana Airlines. As a matter of fact, Airports Council International recently reported a 10% jump in international travel with Cancun leading in the Latin American/Caribbean region with an overall 11.7% increase in travel.

In the end, it seems that Aeromexico really came out on top with the demise of Mexicana Airlines. The DGAC in Mexico reported a 15% market increase for Aeromexico combined with Aeromexico Connect from June to October. Other big winners include Virgin America who will be the newest US carrier servicing Cancun. Flights to Cancun on Virgin America begin in 2011.

Along with a Mexican firms, Playboy developed the 12,000-square-foot club that includes a restaurant, a sports lounge, and full casino.

The opening of the Cancun Playboy Club has already improved the value of Playboy stock on the trading market and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner seems very pleased about the new endeavor telling an online publication recently, “I am pleased to bring the Playboy Club to Mexico…”

Cuban Cruises from Mexico Resume

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Gabriel Bravo

Cuban Cruises from Mexico

After almost three years, Cuban Cruises from Mexico have resumed. Port of Havana is now open to the Gemini ship, which is owned and operated by the Spanish Happy Cruises company. The last ship to make the trip regularly was the Spanish company, Pullmantur, which was suspended after its Cuban cruise fleet from Mexico was acquired by the US owned company Royal Caribbean.

The Gemini ship leaves from Mexico and has ports of call in Cozumel and Cancun before it continues to Cuba and docks in Havana. One of the first voyages carried 220 passengers from 11 countries, but mostly from Spain. However, full capacity for the ship is 800 passengers. Cubatur, the Cuban tourism company that works in conjunction with Spanish Happy Cruises expects to add British and Russian cruises regularly to Havana very soon.

According to the Cuban Tourism Ministry, if the US was to lift the 50-year-old embargo that prevents US citizens from traveling freely to the island-nation, it estimates 1,000 cruise ships a year would bring more than 1.2 million US tourists to Cuba.

If you’re thinking of taking a cruise to Cuba and are looking for Cancun extended vacation packages that will allow you to do so, then Best Cancun Packages can definitely help. Right now, we’re offering 8 days and 7 nights in one of our exclusive Cancun resorts for just $598.
