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.
The Cancún Underwater Museum, also known as MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte), is an extraordinary underwater attraction located in the waters surrounding Cancún, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc. Established in 2009, the museum features over 500 life-sized sculptures created by various artists, including renowned British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor. The sculptures are made from marine-grade cement, designed to promote coral growth and support marine life.

It features the remains of approximately 47 structures, including temples and platforms, that date back to between 1250 and 1630 AD. The site provides valuable insights into the daily life, trade, and religious practices of the Maya people who once inhabited the area.
