Cancun Description

Description

Cancun, among the youngest tourist resorts in Mexico, was just a gleam in the eye of the tourism industry in the late 1960’s. Prior to the intense campaign for luxurious mega-resorts to be built here, Cancun was just another sleepy fishing village among the many that dotted the Caribbean shoreline. Located on the Caribbean Coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun is in the northern part of the Quintana Roo, Mexico’s newest state.

Here, you will find a mixture of activities, ranging from a relaxing day on the white sand beaches surrounded by beautiful turquoise clear water to the intense party scene of Cancun’s famous nightlife. There are many choices for day trips to explore the archaeological ruins of the Mayan culture or enjoy a Caribbean water park. Fun-filled activities are always the main theme of these excursions. Tourists enjoy sun-filled warm tropical days and nights at this most popular resort location in Mexico!

No other place in the Caribbean, or the world, gives you the latest in luxury resorts at the doorstep of the ancient civilizations of the mysterious Maya. Chichen-Itza, Tulum, and Coba all are spectacular examples of the ancient cities. An excursion to one or more of these sites should be on everyone's itinerary - there's no other place on earth like them.

With the average temperature in the 80's and over 300 days of sunshine annually, the powdery white, coral sand beaches beckon sun worshippers. The turquoise waters invite every activity imaginable - swimming, windsurfing, parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving and sport fishing only start the list. Of course, don't forget Golf!
