ISLA MUJERES / PLAYA MUJERES / CANCUN A Place Like No Other Isla Mujeres / Playa Mujeres / Cancun | 13 One of Mexico's most beloved beach destinations, developed exclusively with tourism in mind, the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula is perhaps the best example of a crowd-pleasing destination on this side of the Americas. The sun worshipper and water lover; historian and adventurer; spa hopper and wildlife explorer; gourmand and gourmet; families with children in tow, empty nesters, and couples in every stage of love…there truly is something for everyone in this slice of paradise along the Caribbean Sea. At the heart of the action lies Cancun, a seven-shaped strip of stunning resorts set on 14 miles of bright white, crushed coral beaches, and host to over 3.3 million visitors per year. Divided into the popular and lively Hotel Zone, Downtown Cancun, and the Ecological Reserve, golf, snorkeling, scuba diving, wind surfing, water skiing, sailing, deep sea fishing, and jungle tour opportunities all tempt loungers to leave the sugary sand, no matter in which region they set up their chairs. 2 10 111 515 15 95 BUS 95 N T A N A R O O Cozumel Tulum Cancun Boca Paila Chemax Chiquilá 307 Isla Mujeres Contoy Island Xel-Há Cobá Playa del Carmen Xcaret A T A N Holbox Island Caribbean Sea Gulf of Mexico Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve Luis International Airport B.A. Beach B.A. Beach CONDADO Bahía de San Juan Bahía de San Juan Bahía de San Juan O C E A N Oranjestad Reina Beatrix International Airport Paradera Paradera Paradera Altovista to airport 0 20 miles 0 20 km 12 5 20 33 8 13 34 21 4 18 29 6 26 7
