When the Cancun tourism project was created at the beginning of the 70 years, the coastal strip was designed as a tourist corridor where the beaches were public prioritizing the well-being of tourism that the hotels of the city would occupy. Zona Hotelera from the coast of Cancun.
This tongue of sea is separated from the peninsula by a set of connected lagoons, the largest being the Nichupté lagoon, the great natural frontier between tourism Zona Hotelera and City of Cancun.

During the tour you will find several points with beautiful views of the lagoon, if you like to walk it is a good option. In some sections there are people bathing, something that I do not recommend due to the proximity of crocodiles.
