Thinking about traveling to Cancun? Well, you are going to love it! This is the perfect place to just get away and relax. However, whenever you visit a new place, you need to do a little bit of studying on that place before you go. Here are a few tips that you may want to keep in mind when visiting Cancun.
First of all, you are going to need your passport when you go. It is always a good idea to make a copy of your passport before you go as well. You should keep the copy and the original separate. This way, if you lose one, you still have the other one to fall back on. Chances are you will not need the backup, but in case you do, you are ready.
Mexican Cousine
For some people, the Mexican cuisine names can be kind of hard to understand when you go down there. The main thing to remember is that a tamale is a meat or sweet filled rolled in a masa. Then from there it is wrapped in a corn husk.
Some places wrap them in banana leaves. An enchilada is a tortilla stuffed and rolled. These are covered in a sauce and garnish. It’s a good idea to learn other things as well, so you know what to expect when you get down there.
When you go to the restaurants in Cancun, there are a few things to remember. First of all, when you get the waiters attention, wave your hand. Do not motion with your index finger. This is considered very demeaning.
Sometimes after doing this the waiter will “forget” about that table. If you are ready for your check, the motion of scribbling on your hand is actually an international sign. Tips in Cancun should be about 10 to 20% of your bill.
