In the space of 20 years Cancun, situated on the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, has grown from a tiny jungle village into one of the world's best-known holiday resorts.
With its fine, white sandy beaches, turquoise water, and a seemingly inexhaustible amount of sunny weather, the city is a tropical paradise loaded with modern amenities that continues to grow and grow.
Spectacular hotels and resorts, a wide assortment of restaurants, and an array of nightclubs have opened by the thousands.
The Hotel Zone is the most happening area, offering visitors a concentration of the city's best dining and nightlife destinations.
Water sports of all kinds occupy most visitors during the day, and a cacophony of live music fills the night from clubs and discos throughout the city.
A shopper's best plan of action in Cancun, Mexico is to head to one of the malls, such as La Isla Shopping Centre or Plaza Caracol, but Market 28 or other small markets are also nice choices for bargain hunters.
As for culture, Cancun is situated in the heart of the Mayan world with many Maya ruins within travelling distance.
A few hours away is Chichen Itza, built between 550 and 900AD, the most famous site in Mayan history.
A spectacular light show in the evening makes Chichen Itza a must-do for any Cancun trip.
