Cancun Maps and Orientation
(Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, MX)



A popular and extremely appealing coastal resort on the far eastern side of Mexico, Cancun lies in the state of Quintana Roo. Often abbreviated as simply 'QR', Quintana Roo is the most easterly state in the whole of Mexico. Cancun borders the Caribbean Sea and is adjacent to the Isla Mujeres, with parts of the city comprising small island areas, linked by bridges.

The historic part of Cancun features a series of large districts, which are known locally as 'supermanzanas', being edged by major boulevards and thoroughfares. These supermanzanas feature many small urban areas and winding roads, often being home to a number of parks.
