Framed by breathtaking beaches along the Caribbean coast and forest reserves through its interior, Quintana Roo is one of Mexico’s most exciting getaway destinations. Indulge at the waterfront resorts of [Cancún](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides), relax beneath the tropical sunshine on the offshore islands, explore ecological theme parks and join the revelers in the bars and clubs after nightfall. The state was populated mostly by small farming and fishing villages until the late 20th century, when it began to grow into the internationally renowned getaway that it is today. Have a tailored vacation experience in Cancún’s luxury resort area and enjoy a playground of 14 miles (23 kilometers) of white-sand beaches. [Playa del Carmen](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen.d601751.Destination-Travel-Guides) is an eclectic resort town and the heart of the [Riviera Maya](https://www.expedia.ca/Riviera-Maya.d602901.Destination-Travel-Guides).
