'''Quintana Roo''' is the easternmost state of [[Mexico]], located on the Yucatán peninsula. It shares borders with the Mexican states of [[Yucatán]] and [[Campeche]] to the west, and with [[Belize]] to the south. Its capital is [[Chetumal]], while the biggest and most important city is [[Cancún]]. Quintana Roo is probably the most touristy state of Mexico. Especially Cancún and [[Playa del Carmen]] on the ''Riviera Maya'' are crowded with foreign tourists and expensive hotels and are probably a hitchhiker's nightmare (although the beaches are nice). However, going further inland you can find beautiful and almost empty places. While still very touristy, the Maya sites of [[Tulum]] and [[Cobá]] are worth visiting.
