Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is a breathtaking phenomenon of glorious skies and seas, strikingly turquoise, transparent and infinitely-hued. Here the sand is whither, finer and cooler than any other, allowing one to walk upon it even the hottest hours of the day without burning the soles of the feet.

Founded less than 30 years ago, it is a metropolis with ultramodern shopping centers and hotels which are the new Babel: contemporary temples of this generation born in the shade of multi-family skycrapers.

When the sun rises the ocean's waves, the pounding sea, the marine birds: in the lagoon reside the very timid Nizuc (similar to a stork), between the mangroves and the jungle, beside fishermen who fish throughout the week and seek relaxation, while tourists delight themselves at the beach awaiting nightfall, dancing in the discos, and dining on fabolous lobster dishes. There, beside the bridge, moor the tranquil ships of the new pirates and offer fun and pleasure to those visitors seeking to stimulate their emotions.

Cancun provides work and supports thousand of families hailing from different social level, diverse places within the Mexican Republic and the world. In this rapidly moving spiral shell, the crucible of a new frontier town blends within the tropical jungle and the sea, among ancient archaeological zones and new stablishments, among uncultured but wise characters and relatively new universities, among slash-and-burn methods and computerized technology, among streets where houses have palm-thatched roofs and giant rose-marbled living rooms, between nightclubs where locals and foreigners dance together to the rhythms of the caribbean and the latest in hip-hop and house music, among restaurants catering to the most sophisticated palates and simple bungalows serving fresh seafood, that just because they are simple doesn't mean that they won't satisfy even the most varied of tastes.

Cancun, whirlwind of the tropics; Cancun, promise of future ports and board-walks; Cancun, spiral shell of times to come.
Cancun, an array of infinite possibilities in both land and sea ports, which continues to grow, each day with more history; a reality that is genuinely its own, beside the jungle, beneath the sky of clouds bearing an inmense promise and facing the world's most beautiful sea.
