Quiet corner of the Xcaret park. Mexico's Caribbean- Quintana RooIn Mexico's Yucatan peninsula: Cancun, Mayan Riviera, and more
What a great name for a state: Quintana Roo (pronounced "Rrrow"), really rolls off the tongue. But the words have substance too, commemorating Andres Quintana Roo, a big figure in Mexico's Independence movement; he was imprisoned (with his wife), escaped from the Inquisition, and generally lived larger than life; he was even a distinguished poet. Quintana Roo, the state, is in the Yucatan Peninsula, and has borders with Guatemala and Belize, and warm Caribbean seas on its east and north sides.
