 Quintana Roo, the sixth most developed Mexican states, became a popular travel location in the 1970s. Today, it has many grand hotels and luxury resorts along the coastline. Inland, it is popular as a place for Eco tourism because the Yucatan Peninsula has one of the densest forests in the worlds. Apart from the fabulous variety of flora, there are numerous animals. The human population is comparatively small.
Quintana Roo was named after Andrés Quintana Roo, a Mexican author and liberal politician. The official name for this region is Estado Libre y Soberano de Quintana Roo. In English, this means the Free and Sovereign State of Quintana Roo.
This state is located east of the Yucatán Peninsula. The state of Yucatan is to the north. The state of Campeche is to the west. In the east is the Caribbean Sea. In the south is the country of Belize. In the southwest, there is a border with Guatemala. However, this area is under dispute, because Campeche also makes a claim to it.
