Books, Magazines and Other Information

I know that Cancun is not a part of the Caribbean. But, as many people seem to consider that it is, I have placed some information about it here. The area of Mexico known as Cancún is actually composed of two islets, Isla Cancún and Cuidad. The islands are connected by two major bridges. Isla Cancún is a narrow, 14-mile long island that is home to beautiful white sand beaches and is where you will find the majority of the resorts. Cuidad is the business district of Cancún, where shopping and offices take center stage. This proverbial gem of the Mexican Caribbean is what brings tourists to this area of Mexico, many for fine diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean Sea. The Mexican government shows off Cancún to the world by encouraging development and supporting the tourism industry. As a result, Cancún continues to grow while maintaining its thousands of years of history and natural beauty. For more extensive information on Cancun, visit All About Cancun or the Cancun Visitors Bureau and the Mexico pages of Getting Away.
