Crónicas de Cancun
Cancun, situated on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, was founded in 1970 as a planned resort town. Its Mayan heritage and strategic location on the Mesoamerican trade route have shaped the city's rich cultural identity, evident in its architectural blend of modern skyscrapers and ancient ruins. The Hotel Zone, where Hostel Haina is located, was built in the 1970s to cater to the influx of tourists, and its sleek, modern design reflects this era. Today, Cancun is a thriving metropolis with a strong focus on eco-tourism and preserving its natural and cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the ancient Mayan ruins of El Meco and the vibrant city centre, filled with street art, markets, and restaurants serving local cuisine.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Cancun →Los mejores meses
The best months to visit Cancun are April and May, offering pleasant temperatures (average highs of 28°C/82°F) and minimal rainfall, making it an ideal time for beach activities and outdoor exploration. June and July can also be pleasant, but the heat and humidity start to pick up, and the crowds return.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the peak tourist month in Cancun, with the peak season coinciding with the summer solstice. Expect higher hotel prices and larger crowds, particularly during the annual Fiesta de San Ildefonso in mid-July. The city hosts various events, including the Cancun Jazz Festival and the Fiesta de la Vendimia, which drive up hotel prices and attract a lively atmosphere.
La temporada del hombro
The shoulder season, from September to November, offers the best value for money, with lower prices and fewer crowds. The weather remains warm, with average highs of 28°C (82°F), and the city is less intense, making it an excellent time for those seeking a more relaxed Cancun experience.
Tiempo y embalaje
Cancun's climate is characterised by its 'drying season', which lasts from November to April, with low humidity and moderate temperatures. Pack accordingly by bringing light, breathable clothing for the dry months and a lightweight rain jacket for the occasional summer downpour.

Principales atracciones en Cancun
💡 Go around 6pm when the vendors set up—marquesitas (crispy rolled crepes with cheese and Nutella) are a must-try for 20 pesos. Sit on a bench and watch the families.
