Cancún’s cultural, environmental, and social landscape make up the city’s incredible appeal. Its unforgettable scenery framed by white sand beaches and a vibrant turquoise sea; its extensive biodiversity in its reefs, lagoons, cenotes, and jungles; its wealth of ancestral Mayan culture; its incredibly efficient air and ground transportation systems; and its iconic hotel infrastructure of the highest-rated levels have deemed Cancún, Quintana Roo, as the most awarded Mexican tourist destination in the world and as a leader city in Latin America.

 Cancún was the first tourist development of the Fondo Nacional de Turismo (FONATUR). After its founding in the early 1970s, travelers from around the world came to explore its 23 kilometer (14 mile) coastline and to enjoy the beauty and quality of its hotels that boast a mere 35,000 rooms collectively, and continue to set some of the highest and unparalleled hospitality standards for the rest of the world.

If the city’s surroundings intrigue you, Cancún is also a gateway to other incredibly popular destinations in the Riviera Maya: Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Holbox, Isla Mujeres, and Cozumel. Moreover, you can appreciate the wonders of the ancient Mayan archaeological sites such as Chichén Itzá, Cobá, and Muyil, among many others.
