How to find cheap flights from Ottawa to Cancun

Cancun is more than just a beach destination; it’s a gateway to ancient Mayan civilization and a haven for natural beauty. Explorers are drawn to its proximity to historical marvels like Chichen Itza, where imposing pyramids tell tales of a sophisticated past. Beyond the historical sites, the region captivates with its cenotes—natural sinkholes offering crystalline waters for swimming—and the sprawling Caribbean Sea, an ideal backdrop for water sports and relaxation. Cancun’s appeal lies in its diverse offerings, from exploring archaeological zones to experiencing the region's unique ecosystems.

Flying from Ottawa to Cancun generally involves a journey of around four to five hours. For those planning a trip, the months from December to April often present the most agreeable weather, with plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. This period avoids the peak of the hurricane season, making it a popular choice for many travellers. Conversely, if you are looking for potential savings on airfare and accommodation, consider travelling during the off-peak season, particularly from late spring through to early autumn. Be mindful that this time coincides with warmer, more humid conditions and increased rainfall.
