about Cancun

Cancún is a coastal city in Quintana Roo, Mexico's easternmost state. It is the municipal seat of Benito Juárez municipality and a world renowned tourist resort.

In the early 1950s Cancún was an undeveloped island just off the Caribbean Sea coast of the Yucatán peninsula, home to a few fishing hamlets and small Pre-Columbian ruins of the Maya civilization. The government of Mexico, together with an international group of private investors, decided to develop a tourist resort on Cancún. A causeway was built to link Cancún to the mainland, and an international airport was built. On the opposite side of the island from the Caribbean Sea is Nachupte Lagoon, which is used for boat tours of the area. Development of Cancún grew rapidly in the early 1960s.

The city has grown rapidly over the past thirty years to become a city of approximately half a million residents, covering the former island and the nearby mainland.
