📍 Destination Overview
Cancún sits at the eastern tip of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, a world-renowned Caribbean resort of white sand and jewel-like turquoise water. Isla Mujeres and Cozumel offer snorkeling and an underwater museum, the peninsula's clear cenotes invite swimming, and Maya ruins such as Tulum and Chichén Itzá lie close. Sunshine, sand, cenotes and Maya history make Cancún a Caribbean jewel.
