Cancún is a renowned tourist destination located on the northeastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. It is famous for its stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant nightlife. The city is divided into two main areas: the downtown area, known as "El Centro," and the Hotel Zone, a long strip of beachfront properties, luxury resorts, and entertainment venues. Cancún is also a gateway to other attractions in the region, including the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza, as well as the natural beauty of the cenotes and the nearby island of Isla Mujeres.
