Cancun, on the Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo, is Mexico's biggest and most popular resort area. With stunning beaches, luxury hotels and resorts, fine dining, impressive Mayan archaeological sites nearby, and activities for all ages and tastes, it's no wonder 3 million tourists visit Cancun each year.
Getting there: Cancun has an International Airport, but if you're coming from Merida (200 miles away), you'll want to come over land so you can visit Chichen Itza on the way.
