The Caribbean Side of Mexico

Quintana Roo sits along the eastern edge of the Yucatán Peninsula bordering the Caribbean Sea and Belize. The state is home to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel, Holbox, and Bacalar — destinations known worldwide for beaches, diving, nightlife, and eco-tourism.

The state became Mexico’s youngest state in 1974 and today continues to grow rapidly thanks to tourism, international investment, and global travelers drawn to the Riviera Maya and Costa Maya.

Beyond the resorts, Quintana Roo contains tropical jungle, wildlife reserves, mangroves, cenotes, Mayan archaeological zones, coral reefs, and some of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems in Mexico.
