Beginning right at the entrance to downtown Cancún (kilometer 0, where the median is also home to a spacious outdoor gym) and tracing the Hotel Zone’s entire northern stretch, this wide, red-paved path is a favorite for runners, in-line skaters, and cyclists in search of outdoor exercise with a merciful bit of shade (the path along Boulevard Kukulcan is lined with jungle flora, palm trees, tropical plants, and a smattering of hotel entrances). Locals especially love working out on the Ciclopista early in the morning and in the evening, when temperatures are cooler.

If you prefer to do some touring while you’re behind the wheel, you can opt for a road tour on the highway between Cancun and Tulum or Chichén Itza, led by a professional “pilot” in the lead car. When driving is done, a Brazilian-style Steakhouse with an authentic “rodizio” (all you can eat) dining experience is the perfect finale to your day. Dinner is served inside an air-conditioned restaurant or al-fresco on the terrace - right next to the race track.
