The best Cancun nightlife that is not a club: Xoximilco Fiesta!

DID SOMEONE SAY PARTY IN CANCUN?

IF IT HAS TEQUILA, MARIACHIS AND MEXICAN FOOD, IM IN!

For those who are looking for an alternative to nightclubs, we recommend the Xoximilco Mexican Floating Fiesta – a huge outdoor party that happens every night. Just 5 minutes from the International Airport, 15 minutes from Puerto Morelos and 35 minutes from Playa del Carmen. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Quintana Roo. 

Cancun nightlife can be defined as clubbing, but there is a much more exciting world to explore. The best nightlife that is not club-specific has to be the Xoximilco Fiesta in the heart of Cancun. It’s absolutely fun and worth checking out if you’re not looking for the clubbing experience. Xoximilco Fiesta is a Cancun attraction that offers an experience you will never forget:
