Jungle path
Jungle
Located in Cancun downtown, this park is a public place. There is no admission fee and it is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is safe for tourists and we highly recommend this beautiful park, bring comfortable cotton shirt, tennis shoes, short pants, hat and sun glasses (on rain season bring bug repellent). Walk through the jungle and see the local flora and fauna, it is easy to see squirrels, raccoons, possums, toucans, parrots and multicolored birds. The park is not well promoted by travel agencies or tour operators because it is free, this makes the place not be overcrowded, local people uses the park for jogging and amusement. On weekdays many schools has educational programs and take their students to the park to learn about the jungle and teach them to love and protect the environment, on Sundays it is common to see entire families to enjoy a close encounter with the nature in the heart of the city.
