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.
