Historia
[editar] poca prehispnica
De acuerdo a los estudios arqueolgicos, "El Meco" y "Yamil Lu'um" y "El Rey" fueron
puntos habitados hasta el siglo XVI. En las crnicas de Indias se describe una localidad
con el nombre de Belma, es probable que esta localidad corresponda al punto conocido
actualmente con el nombre de "El Meco".
La zona que ahora comprende Cancn e Isla Mujeres fue descubierta por Francisco
Hernndez de Crdoba en 1517. Pero la historia de la ciudad, propiamente dicha, es el
resultado del sueo de un grupo de banqueros que supo encontrar un punto geogrfico
donde se explotara el turismo, convirtiendo su sueo en una realidad de niveles
internacionales.
..Por la tarde hicimos rumbo hacia tierra firme, pasando por la isla de Kancum, que es una faja
de tierra cubierta de mdanos y de algunos edificios de piedra que an se ven. Toda esta costa
esta cubierta de arrecifes de rocas con uno u otro estrecho canal, que permite paso a las canoas,
para entrar a buscar abrigo, pero de noche es muy peligroso pretenderlo. Nosotros tenamos
muy buen viento, mas como el punto prximo se hallaba todava a bastante distancia, el patrn
(capitn) determin anclar a las cuatro de la tarde a sotavento de la Punta Nizuc....
History
During the classical period and the post-classic period in Mesoamerica, the Maya kept
a sales network from Laguna to Honduras Terms for this activity set whose paths
traveled shipping routes along the coast of the present state of Quintana Roo. Because
of this construction performed by the sea to carry trade, and to monitor and help
navigation.
According to archaeological studies, "El Meco" and "Yamil Lu'um" and "The King"
points were inhabited until the sixteenth century. In the annals of India described a
town by the name of Belma, it is likely that this location corresponds to the point now
known by the name of "El Meco".
The area now includes Cancun and Isla Mujeres was discovered by Francisco
Hernandez de Cordoba in 1517. But the history of the city itself is the result of the
dream of a group of bankers who managed to find a geographical point where tourism
explode, turning your dream into a reality of international standards.
The first geographical reference or Cancuen Cancun island from which we hear, is
based on a map drawn by the cartographer Juan de Dios Gonzalez in the year 1776.
During the nineteenth century and in the year 1841, Captain Richard Owen Smith on a
tour of the Caribbean and Central American states in his log notes the existence of pre-
Hispanic buildings in the north and south of the island. It follows that those sites are El
Rey and El Meco Lu'um Yamil (sites listed in the section Places of interest).
American John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood described Britain in 1842,
although very briefly, the existence of two buildings located in Punta Kancum, they
probably referred to the temples that have been transcribed Lu'um Yamil in the Hotel
Zone.
In the afternoon we did .. heading to the mainland, through Kancum Island, a strip of
land covered with sand dunes and some stone buildings still visible. All this coast is
covered with reefs of rocks with one or another narrow channel that allows passage to
the canoes, to go to seek shelter, but at night is very dangerous to claim it. We had
very good wind, but as the next point was still quite a distance, the master (captain)
determined to anchor at four in the afternoon to the lee of the Punta Nizuc ....
This visit was during the time of the first separation of the Republic of Yucatn, at night
the expedition was attacked by swarms of mosquitoes, which is why the boat anchored
at some distance from the coast to get some sleep.
Alice and Augustus Le Plongeon visit the island in 1877 and 1878 mention the
existence of a site called City Nizucte in the extreme south, possibly they refer to the
present site of the King, for around Punta Nizuc, to the have not yet been found
remains of a prehistoric settlement. Then in 1895 the U.S. William H. Holmes comes to
the island to the issuance Allison V. Armour and mentions without trace, the existence
of numerous buildings of identical appearance to those in neighboring islands and the
mainland, probably identifying the same places: El Meco, Yamil Lu'um and The King.

Caractersticas de la vegetacin
Fauna
Un dato interesante es el caso del ave Quiscalus mexicanus, mejor conocido como
zanate, pich o cau. Este pjaro de color negro, se ha convertido en una plaga en toda la
ciudad, esto debido a su gran adaptabilidad y hbitos. En contacto estrecho con el
hombre, el quiscal se ha apropiado de numerosas reas para su anidacin, y es comn
ver volar decenas de parvadas de cau al crepsculo y escuchar a lo largo de toda la
avenida Tulum (e incluso en el aeropuerto internacional) sus estridentes cantos antes de
dormirse sobre los rboles de los camellones.
Tambin se encuentran animales como el venado rojo que est en peligro de extincin;
tapir, tepezcuintle, boa, entre otros.
