Largest Coral Reef in the WorldThe great Mesoamerican coral reef barrier awaits you to live an extraordinary adventure full of magic under the blue Caribbean Sea.

In total, this amazing coral reef barrier, home to an immense diversity of flora and fauna, has an extension of more than 1,000 km long. The Mexican part, which is the one you will be visiting during your Cancun vacations, is about 300 km long.

Aside from being home to a plentiful of colors and an explosion of life blessed by the sun and the delightful weather of the Mexican Caribbean, coral reefs have an important role in the preservation of life and other ecosystems as we know them, for they prevent large swells caused by hurricanes and storms to arrive to the shore, which favors the growth of plants, mangroves, etc.

Let’s take good care of them in order to continue enjoying all the beauty they offer us.
