Cancun, Tourist city in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
The coastal metropolis extends along the Caribbean Sea with 27 kilometers of beaches featuring white sand and turquoise waters lined by hotels.
The Mexican government transformed this former fishing settlement into an international tourist destination through strategic development projects starting in 1970.
Mexican traditions merge with international influences through local markets, seafood restaurants, and festivals celebrating regional customs throughout the year.
Cancun International Airport connects to major cities worldwide with direct flights, while local buses and taxis provide transportation within the Hotel Zone.
The underwater museum MUSA displays over 500 submerged sculptures between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, creating an artificial reef for marine life.
