Why Mexico
For the latest updates on Cancun, Mexico click here
Mexico is divided into six tourist regions and some of the more popular are:
Cancun is on of the east coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo which is composed of many lagoons, sandbars, and mangrove swamps, and is edged with coral reefs; several islands lie off shore Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Isla Holbox, and Contoy. The fifth largest reef in the world, the Belize Reef, extends from the tip of Isla Mujeres, 250 kilometres south of the bay of Honduras. Many varieties of coral, including rare black coral found at great depths, grow in the hills and valleys of the deep reef that protects Quintana Roo.
Not everyone who travels to Cancun is a diver or snorkeler at first. Once one peeks through the "looking glass" (a diving mask) it changes everything. The Caribbean is one of the most notoriously seductive bodies of water in the world. Turquoise blue and crystal clear with perfect tepid temperature, the costal waters, protected by offshore reefs, are ideal for a languid float during hot, humid days.
Cancun is one of Mexico's most modern and popular resorts and construction is continuing south along the coast. Other naturally attractive sites south are home to modern hotels, while still more earmarked for future development. Growth includes a marina, and 18-hole golf course, and talk of another international airport. With several small landing strips already built, new roads give access to previously unknown beaches and often unseen Maya structures.
The southern coast has been called many things such as : Tulum Corridor, Playa Coast, Sunshine Coast and Riviera Maya. No matter what you call it, Mexico's Caribbean coast has become Mexico's sizzling coast, attracting travelers from all over the world.
Los Cabos - "where the desert meets the sea".
As one of the country's most popular incentive destinations, the area features world-class hotel resorts and recreational facilities, including five-star hotels, impressive golf courses, charismatic marinas and exquisite restaurants. The area's location is ideal for a variety of water sports and outdoor activities including fishing, swimming, sailing, diving and surfing in Cabo San Lucas and Cabo Pulmo.
In the last few years, Los Cabos has become a major golf destination in Latin America. The city hosts the PGA Senior Slam and has earned full recognition of its facilities in the international golf community. Its 207 holes designed by world-renown personalities like Jack Nicklaus, Roy Dye and Robert Trent II, sit in majestic green golf courses beautifully bordered by the desert and sea.
Los Cabos has long been the secret getaway for the rich and famous; regulars visitors include Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin, who enjoyed their honeymoon at Las Ventanas al Paraiso; and John Travolta, enjoyed his 50th birthday party at La Palmilla One & Only Resort, was pleasantly surprised by the huge bash that awaited him, featuring an entourage of other famous actor friends, including Tom Cruise, Sean Penn, Sylvester Stallone, Meg Ryan and Quincy Jones.
