About Cancún

Cancún is situated on the Yucatán Peninsula within the vibrant Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Even though Cancún may look modern now, it has a captivating history. In the past, it was home to ancient Mayans, and you can visit the remarkable ruins they left behind. It stayed serene and unspoiled until the 1960s with a small population, when the Mexican government saw its promise and turned it into a luxury tourist spot, leading to its growth starting in 1970.

History of Cancún

Originally, it was occupied by the ancient Mayan civilization, who built key settlements like Tulum and Coba. The Mayans established elaborate trade networks, architecture, and a spiritual connection to the earth here for millennia. Before the Mexican government recognized its potential in the 1960s, Cancún was a tranquil stretch of beaches, lagoons, and tiny fishing villages.
