There isn't much that's "quaint" or "historical" in this distinctively modern city. Boulevard Kukulcán is the main drag in the Zona Hotelera, and because the island is so narrow -- less than 1/2 mi wide -- you would be able to see water on both sides if it weren't for the hotels, restaurants, shopping complexes, marinas, and time-share condominiums. It's not the sort of place you get to know by walking, although there's a bicycle-walking path that starts downtown at the beginning of the Zona Hotelera and continues through to Punta Nizuc. The path is decorated with reproductions of ancient Mexican art, including the Aztec calendar stone, a giant Olmec head, the Atlantids of Tula, and a Maya Chacmool (reclining rain god).
