Why Canadians love Cancún
Cancún sits on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula along the Caribbean Sea, offering some of the most stunning turquoise waters in the world. Its famous Hotel Zone stretches 22km along a barrier island, lined with world-class all-inclusive resorts, restaurants, and beach clubs.
Beyond the beaches, Cancún is a gateway to ancient wonders — the Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the underwater museum MUSA, and the biosphere reserve of Sian Ka'an are all within reach. It's the perfect destination for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
