If you are fond of shopping for interesting and unique artifacts, do not miss a visit to the popular Coral Negro Flea Market on your trip to Cancun. This market is located close to the popular Forum by the Sea Shopping Center in the hotel zone.

Coral Negro is an open air market selling a variety of interesting souvenirs, henna tattoos, local arts and crafts, t-shirts and hair braiding. Here you will find several units selling a diverse range of products from across the country such as crystallized sweets and charro hats and suits.

Pick from an attractive range of embroidered garments in coarse cotton. Adorn your hands and feet with temporary Henna tattoos or transform your look with hair braids. Browse through the 50 interesting stalls here and haggle with vendors who believe in quoting rates off-hand.
