Cancún

Cancún sits between the Caribbean Sea and Nichupté Lagoon in Quintana Roo, where a long barrier island forms the hotel zone beside the mainland city. This is one of Mexico's principal Caribbean resorts, but its setting also points toward the Yucatán Peninsula's Maya heritage. The Museo Maya de Cancún presents archaeological material from the region, while the nearby San Miguelito site preserves the remains of a Maya settlement within the developed coastal district. Founded as a planned tourism destination in 1970, Cancún has grown into an international transport and service centre for the Mexican Caribbean.
