Quintana Roo has a population of almost 1 million people living in several cities (Cancun, Chetumal, Cozumel, Carrillo Puerto, Isla Mujers and Playa Del Carmen); and many little Mayan towns throughout the state.
The whole of the state is rich in both marine and land wildlife; we have part of the second largest coral reef in the world and a big Biosphere reserve where many animals and plants find shelter from development.
Furthermore, Quintana Roo has probably the friendliest people of all of Mexico (together with all the Yucatan in general).

From the 3rd century BC to the 12th century AD, the lowlands of Petén and Izabal regions were inhabited by several indigenous states of Mayan ethnicity.
The United States Army Special Forces (Green Berets) were sent to Guatemala to transform its army into a "modern counter-insurgency force" and made it the most powerful and sophisticated in Central America.
Although the official language is Spanish, it is not universally spoken among the indigenous population, or is often spoken as a second language; 23 distinct Mayan languages are still spoken, especially in rural areas.
