With its Mayan Museum Cancun, it is committed to the cultural offer in a somewhat scarce city in this field. The archaeological zones of Cancun are reinforced with this interesting museum in the zona hotelera.
Due to the consequences of Hurricane Wilma in the 2005, the previous archeology museum in Cancun closed. It has been extended to have a new museum of Mayan archeology in a city clearly facing sun and beach tourism, night entertainment or Shopping, to the detriment of cultural tourism.
Museo Maya Cancún is located at kilometer 14 of the zona hotelera, and inside is the archaeological zone of San Miguelito. This good museum about the Mayan civilization is a place that is well worth a visit.

Maya Museum Cancun in the zona hotelera
In November, 2012 opened its doors on Maya Museum Cancun. The new enclosure is a delicious place to learn and taste the Mayan culture.
Cancún It deserved to have a Mayan museum, without a doubt. It is sure to please many city dwellers and tourists who were eager for such a place, where they can get to know the culture of the Mayan civilization. The ancient Maya developed in this part of Mexico one of the richest ancestral cultures on the planet.
The museum, which consists of 3 different rooms. They have created an entertaining, visual, educational visit. It is not a museum of great pretensions, but it is certainly a pleasant and interesting space for.
Enthusiasts of the Mayan civilization You will enjoy it very much, there are great pieces to see, great. Residents in Cancun can follow their account at Mayan Museum Cancun Twitter to be aware of itinerant exhibitions or events that take place.
From time to time, in addition to the expos, they make very interesting events for culture lovers. Here I took my first Mayan epigraphy course taught by Memo Kantún, an eminence in this field.
San Miguelito archaeological zone
Another good reason that make this museum a good visit is the archaeological zone of San Miguelito. In the middle of a cozy calm that gives the protection of a forest of beautiful trees, we can visit this ancient Mayan port city of San Miguelito.
Even if you are not very fond of "the stones", the walk through this natural park rescued between the main road and the hotels all-inclusive, it's a pleasant surprise.
Finding quiet and natural places in Cancun is something that archeological sites give us. Both San Miguelito, El Rey and El Meco are very good getaways inside Cancun to enjoy nature on the urban asphalt.
The entrance is valid for the museum and the archaeological zone, so it expects to spend mid-morning quietly in the enclosure. It is a good option if you are visiting or live here. Cancun has its corners, enjoy them.
