Designed especially by the government as a tourist city, Cancun rests on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, making it one of Mexico’s hidden paradises. Its Caribbean coastline offers miles of sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters, while the city is also within easy driving distance of some of Mexico’s most fascinating historical sights.

As a hugely popular tourist resort, it is no surprise that there is a comprehensive tourist infrastructure here, with internationally known hotels stretching the length of the beach and the Bahía de Mujeres (Bay of Women) as well as the Nichupte and Bojorquez lagoons.
