Find Paradise in Akumal, Mexico
If you have ever visited Cancun Mexico then you surely must have gone to beautiful Akumal. This lovely Mexican city is a mere hour and ten minutes from the bustling Cancun. It is located along the Mexican Caribbean coast on the Yucatan peninsula.
This highly secret location has been considered one of Mexico’s hidden hideaways for many years. Its values were discovered only by visitors who dared to travel along the Mexican coastline in an effort to discover adventure at its finest. However, once this modern day secret had been discovered many tourists and travelers to the Yucatan area have found that they are drawn back year after year to this magical tropical paradise. In Akumal the environment is considered precious and all efforts are expended to maintain this pristine setting.
If you are in search of a virgin landscape then this is the place for you to go. Akumal is the center for the Centro Ecológico de Akumal which is a non-profit group whose purpose is to protect the environment and conduct ecologically friendly marine research and education. They fully support the protection of the sea turtle population within the area. A walk though Akumal is similar to walking within a small eco-friendly community. With its length of sandy white beach, its pathways lined with swaying palm trees, the warm sun as well as the sound of the gently beating surf one tends to feel that they have landed on a tropical paradise.
Within Akumal you can find three beautiful bays. This jewel of the Caribbean boasts the half Moon bay, the greater Akumal bay as well as the Aventuras Akumal bay. All are great locations for snorkeling or scuba diving. All three of Akumal’s bays feature a tropical reef that is begging for the underwater explorer to investigate its charm. Nearby you can find the beautiful Yal-ku Lagoon that proudly displays its calm, clear water and a popular beach front at the Akumal Bay. Within the small confines of Akumal you will discover hidden restaurants which feature an abundance of locally caught seafood, quaint little out-of-the-way gift shops made for the curious visitor, several dive shops with an array of excellent equipment and family centered grocery stores. The nightlife is vivid and produces many fun filled beach bars which can be found at the Lol-ha and La Buena Vida.
Several additional attractions are but a skip and a jump from Akumal. You are in quick access to Jade Beach, Aventuras Akumal and South Akumal. All are merely a few minutes to the south from central Akumal. For a fun filled visit whether it is at night or during the daytime Aural offers the adventurous traveler a new insight into Mexican holidays.

How to travel somewhere different from Vancouver for cheap?
I’m sick of the whole travelling to Mexico or Carribean on an all-inclusive. I only have 10 days max. to travel because of work, but I’d like to go somewhere different. I live in Vancouver so could depart from Seattle if necessary. I’m travelling with one friend and we want to leave end of June.
I have a very small budget but want to make the best of it in a unique way. Anyone have any ideas like particular websites or travel companies for me to approach? I had a quick look at GAP adventures but its unclear to me how exactly the company works.
Basically my questions is: What is the least expensive way to go to Europe or South America for a quick get-away?
There are a lot of cheap flights to Europe. Right now for almost $500 you can fly to Germany, France, and even cheaper to England. Check out flight centre, and so many others.
Do not need to go to Seattle. Fly right out of here ( I live in Vancouver too ), fly to London, get a cheap flight with easy air to clogn(Colon) Germany. It is a great city to have fun. Not too expensive, medieval town, nice water front, lots of action.
Have fun, if you need particular info, edit and add to your comment, I will respond.
Email to a friend Print this story of Jacki Wood I recently read two messages (tweets) on Twitter about the diaries from national news organizations, to wonder what was so newsworthy about it.
