Cancun is a city set on the Caribbean Sea on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The city is famous the world over for its resort accommodations, stunning beaches, and nightlife.

There are two main areas that make up Cancun - Zona Hotelera where the resort hotels, restaurants, and clubs are concentrated and a more traditional city center called El Centro. Although Cancun may bring to mind images of college spring breaks where anything goes, in reality there's more to offer than just trendy nightlife. Family-friendly resorts, interesting examples of Mexican and Mayan cultural heritage, crystal-clear waters and soft sandy beaches, and much more all make Cancun a desirable vacation destination for visitors of all ages.
