Cancún is a major resort city in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula where it meets the Caribbean Sea. It began as a planned tourism development in the early 1970s and quickly grew into one of Mexico's top international tourist destinations. Cancún features a long Hotel Zone along the coastline, white sandy beaches, vibrant nightlife, and luxury resorts. The region lies within a tropical climate zone, prone to hurricanes during certain seasons, and is close to Mayan archaeological sites such as El Rey on the Hotel Zone. Cancún also serves as a gateway to Cozumel, the Riviera Maya, and various marine parks, with strong infrastructure for flights from North America and Europe. Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2
