Quintana Roo , Mexico

Quintana Roo, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Quintana Roo or Estado Libre y Soberano de Quintana Roo, and often referred to as ''The Mexican Caribbean'' is a state of Mexico that is part of the Yucatan Peninsula, with a shoreline along the Caribbean that has grown in just a few decades into a major tourism destination.
