Today is Cancun's 40th Birthday


Today is Cancun´s 40th birthday! And still the youngest city in the entire country… It's hard to believe that it's only been around 40 years. 20 years ago we went to Cancun for the first time, so we've known it half it's life - lol.

Here are some interesting facts:

Kaank'uun is a Mayan name that means “nest of viper snakes” (yikes!)

Cancun was a desolate island inhabited by a small group of Mayan fishermen.

In the 1970’s the Mexican Government decides to build a tourist destination funded by a 27-million dollar loan from the Inter-American Development Bank. During the 70’s there were hardly any tourists in Mexico.

Today Cancun has over 27,522 hotel rooms operations, hundreds of bars and restaurants, exclusive golf courses, marinas, eco parks, museums, shopping centers, cultural richness, entertainment, and more.

You can read the entire article and see a very cool slideshow of old pictures of Cancun HERE.
