Today the city is home to more than 573,000 people and is serviced by an average of 190 national and international flights per day.

In the neighbouring state Yucatan lies the Chichen Itza archaeological site which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

El Rey is the largest archeaological site in Cancun and is believed to have been built around 300 AD. These Mayan ruins are mainly of Puuc style and consist of two plazas, a pyramid shaped palace with a ceremonial platform and a small temple. It is unknown what the area was called when it was inhabited. El Rey was named so in the 20th century in honour of a sculpture which was discovered on the site.
