Cancún is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Mexico and one of the most modern in the whole of Central America.

It attracts tourists with its beautiful sandy beaches, the crystal-clear, warm Caribbean Sea teeming with marine life, entertainment, water sports and nightlife.

However, thanks to its location in the north of the Yucatán Peninsula and its busy international airport, it is also an ideal base for exploring the sites of the Mayan civilisation in Mexico and neighbouring Belize, or for trips to the nearby islands of Cozumel and Isla Mujeres.

Cancún lies on the Mayan Riviera in the state of Quintana Roo and is the easternmost city in the whole of Mexico.
