We are quite optimistic that you have probably heard about Mexico, but what we are not quite sure about, is what you know and perceive about Mexico in terms of its tourist attraction. If you have been to Mexico, then you will know that it is an amazing country with a very rich tourist attraction.

Isla Cozumel

Cancun

Here is one interesting fact about the sand at the shores of Cancun beaches – the stretch of sand by the shoreline is made of crushed coral. This by implication means that, no matter how hot the weather is, the sand will never burn your bare feet.
Another reason Cancun is so special is that it houses several breathtaking underwater statues located between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. This underwater museum of contemporary art (MUSA) consists of over 450 life-size sculptures, making it one of the largest, and most incredible, underwater artificial art attractions in the world.
Cancun also has beautiful marine life alongside a barrier reef, described as second only to the reefs found in Australia.
