A couple walking on the shallow waters of the beach. A world renowned tourist resort, Cancun is a coastal city in Mexico's easternmost state, Quintana Roo, on the Yucatan Peninsula. Founded no more than 30 years, the city homes over 500,000 people who came here from different parts of Mexico and world, with the dream of a better life. This is a closer look or more personal view of Cancun showing its people and tourism, the differences and sameness, mixing and homogenization of two entirely different cultures such as American and Mexican.
