Once a small, unremarkable fishing village, the resort area of Cancun is today one of the most popular destinations in Mexico. It is made up of two parts: the glitzy hotel zone dedicated to tourism, and downtown Cancun area inhabited by the permanent residents. A different atmosphere prevails in each, with a dramatic contrast between the air-conditioned shopping malls, chic restaurant dining, and pleasure-seeking tourists in the hotel zone of Cancun; and bustling market street stalls, noisy vendors, and the daily grind of people at work in the other section of Cancun.
The hotel zone, situated on a thin strip of land (Isla Cancun) in the shape of a figure '7', is what people imagine when they talk about Cancun. It is a vision of Caribbean paradise with soft white sand beaches and clear blue-green waters. There is plenty of high quality accommodations available, a wide choice of restaurants and shops, a notoriously energetic nightlife, and an array of activities, including both land and water sports.
Cancun is also a good base from which to explore some of the nearby attractions, particularly the ancient Mayan site of Chichén Itzá on the mainland, which is the best restored and most famous of the archaeological sites on the Yucatán Peninsula.
