Quintana Roo

A Caribbean-coast holiday paradise where Cancún, Tulum, cenotes and the seven-colored Lake Bacalar come together.

Quintana Roo lies on the eastern Yucatán Peninsula facing the Caribbean Sea and is Mexico's most popular beach destination. Classic itineraries combine Cancún's Hotel Zone, diving around Isla Mujeres and Cozumel, Playa del Carmen along the Riviera Maya, the seaside Maya ruins of Tulum and numerous cenotes. In the south, Lake Bacalar is known for its layered shades of blue, the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a World Heritage Site, and on Isla Holbox you can swim with whale sharks in summer. December–April is high season, and June–November is hurricane season. Gateways are Cancún, Tulum, Cozumel and Chetumal airports.
