💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A taco from a street stall costs around £1, and a cold local beer runs about £2.50, less than half the price of a pint back home. A full night out eating and drinking in downtown Cancun barely touches £20.
☀️ The Weather
Cancun stays warm and sunny through October, with highs around 30°C and sea temperatures near 28°C. It's still rainy season, so expect the odd short downpour, but they tend to pass quickly and leave plenty of sunshine behind.
