Bathed by the Caribbean Sea, the city of Quintana Roo actually encompasses two areas. The main city is located on the mainland, while the island (with its characteristic shape resembling the number 7, stretching 22 kilometers long) mostly hosts hotel chains. Two bridges connect the island to the Mexican mainland: one over the Nichupte channel, the other over the opposite Nizuc channel.
Landing at Cancun airport, the second busiest and safest in Mexico, you have a wide range of options to explore. One of the biggest attractions of Cancun is certainly the chance to engage in thrilling activities, thanks to over 25 water sports centers operated with minimal environmental impact.
Surrounded by the fabulous waters of the Caribbean Sea, home to the Great Mesoamerican Reef (the second largest in the world), diving to admire the extraordinary underwater world is a must. Beginners or experts can enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, parasailing, and fishing (both fly fishing and deep sea).
