Destination guide
Cancún: Caribbean water three hours from most of the US
Cancún is the most-flown international destination from the United States, with nonstops from more than 40 US cities. The Hotel Zone's beaches, the Riviera Maya's cenotes and Mayan ruins, and all-inclusive resorts keep it competitive year-round.
