Cancún (/kænˈkuːn/ kan-KOON, US also /kɑːnˈkuːn/ kahn-KOON,[4] Spanish: [kaŋˈkun] ⓘ) is the most populous city in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located in southeast Mexico on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is a significant tourist destination in Mexico[5] and the seat of the municipality of Benito Juárez. The city is situated on the Caribbean Sea and is one of Mexico’s easternmost points. Cancún is located just north of Mexico’s Caribbean coast resort area known as the Riviera Maya.
The Riviera Maya is a stretch of Caribbean coastline on Mexico’s northeastern Yucatán Peninsula. It’s known for its numerous all-inclusive resorts, such as those in the town of Playa del Carmen, and its long beaches. To the south, Tulum is home to yoga retreats and the preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan port city, perched on an outcrop above a white-sand beach.
