Families biking and skating on Cancún's Malecón Tajamar

Cancún families turned out on Sunday, October 11, for another edition of Paseo Cancunense at Malecón Tajamar, the recreation route that Benito Juárez city hall runs through its Municipal Urban Planning Institute (IMPLAN) to reclaim public spaces for outdoor activities, the city government said.

Hours

According to city hall, the route runs in two formats:

  • Daytime: every Sunday, 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
  • Night: the first Saturday of each month, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

The main venue is Malecón Tajamar and Malecón Fonatur avenue, in the Tajamar area facing the Nichupté lagoon.

What you can do

The city says visitors can bike, skate, walk or stroll with their pets during route hours. There are also stalls run by local women entrepreneurs from the city's "Ellas Facturan" program, selling food, crafts and jewelry. The city reported the program has now held more than 40 editions.

Practical tips

  • Go early: heat is milder between 7 and 9 a.m.; in October, midday temperatures in Cancún can still reach 30 °C or more.
  • Bring water, a hat and sunscreen, and check the forecast: sudden showers are common in the rainy season.
  • Pets: keep them leashed and bring bags to pick up after them.
  • Bikes and skates: wear a helmet and yield to pedestrians and small children; the route is shared.
  • Shop local: the "Ellas Facturan" stalls are run by Cancún entrepreneurs.
  • Next night edition: Saturday, November 7, the first Saturday of the month, 6 to 9 p.m. (if the city keeps its announced schedule).

Participation is free and requires no registration—just show up at the listed place and time. For questions, city hall can be reached at (998) 881 2800.
