Cancun in Mexiko is a destination that Family plans for families, focusing on children, safety and short distances. Behind it stands Swiss Vibes, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, which puts together family trips with short distances. The planner asks about family and period, and on the video call Swiss Vibes clarifies the details.

Why this trip
The Caribbean without great effort: in Cancún the airport is close, the water is turquoise, and many hotels offer family rooms and kids' clubs. From November to April it is dry and warm, which is a good time for families with winter school holidays. At Dolphins Beach the sand is white and the entry shallow, with shade under parasols, so even smaller children can play well. In the Interactive Aquarium Cancún children get close to fish, and the Ferris wheel shows the lagoon from above.
The Parque de las Palapas is a meeting place in the evening with a playground, food and music. Xcaret, Xel-Há and Xplor are large nature parks for which a whole day should be set aside, with breaks in the shade. If you prefer a quiet stay, choose for example the Finest Playa Mujeres or the Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun. Isla Mujeres, Holbox, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel are neighbours that suit a day trip or an extension.
The journey takes twelve to fourteen hours, usually with a change, and entry is visa-free for up to 180 days. Tap water is not suitable for drinking, and sun protection is a must.
