The Place
Cancun, Mexico
City introduction
Caribbean resort strip and the Mayan world at its doorstep. Cancun pairs a seven-shaped resort strip of Caribbean sand with the Yucatán's wonders: Chichén Itzá, the cenotes' sinkhole swimming, Tulum's cliff ruins, Isla Mujeres' calm water. All-inclusive comfort or boutique Isla Blanca — the excursion menu is the real draw.
