 It begins 32 kilometers south of the Cancun international airport and ends at a quaint fishing village called Punta Allen, located on a small peninsula within a large Biosphere Reserve. Between these two points, there are many towns different in style and size, each with its own unique character, as well as a variety of beautiful bays and solitary beaches.
