Despite it's crazy reputation, Cancun, Mexico boasts some of the best family attractions around. Whether you want to go for a relaxing weekend on the beach, a fast-paced jungle adventure, or a never-ending night of parties, Cancun is the place to go. Fun for the whole family, all you need is a passport, your babies passport (http://www.uspassportnow.com/services/ChildPassport), and a bathing suit to enjoy all Cancun has to offer.

Chichen Itza is a popular tourist site that is a short road trip away from Cancun. Chichen Itza is an ancient Mayan city that flourished between 250 and 900 AD. Named as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, El Castillo in Chichen Itza is a truly spectacular site. Huge crowds of people come to Chichen Itza on the Spring Equinox to see the El Castillo. Every year on the Spring Equinox, the sun hits El Castillo just right, sending a huge shadow "serpent" slithering down the pyramid, finally ending in a carved snake head. Not only is Chichen Itza famous for its history, but also its early forms of art. Whole walls and buildings are covered in ancient Mayan hieroglyphics, providing a glimpse into the early Mayan civilization.

People from all over the world come to Cancun to partake in some of the best scuba diving around. There are tons of businesses in Cancun that take your family to some of the best spots to dive or snorkel. Cancun offers a variety of places to explore underwater, whether you want to swim through colorful coral reefs, underwater caverns, or even sunken ship wrecks. Come face to face with dolphins, sting rays, sea turtles, colorful fish, or even a whale shark. If you prefer to stay in the shallows, Cancun's beautiful beaches will provide a just as gratifying adventure.

One of the most famous attractions in Cancun is the Selvatica Adventure Park. Not your ordinary kind of attraction, Selvatica offers tons of ways to unleash your inner explorer. Zip lines through the canopy of the forest provide you with a bird's eye view of the Mexican jungle. Take a zip line at night and get yourself closer to the moon and stars, all before you sit down to a luxurious dinner under the night sky. Opt for the snorkeling adventure and swim in the one of the safest, most beautiful reefs in the world. Perfect for even the youngest ones in your family, Selvatica promises to keep you and your family on the edge, if you just have a US passport (http://www.uspassportnow.com/).
