Cancun News

Cancun news with a metro-beat focus—quick, clear, and anchored in Benito Juárez. We cover what counts from City Hall and CUN to the Hotel Zone, Downtown, and Puerto Juárez, with a close watch on tourism, public safety, development, and the cost of living for residents. When hurricanes form, sargassum lands, beach closures hit, or road works snarl Boulevard Kukulcán, we post verified updates in real time and link straight to official advisories, data, and public records. Expect tight explainers that untangle big stories—airport expansion, coastal erosion, transit and the Maya Train—plus weekly briefings that include nearby corridors like Isla Mujeres and Puerto Morelos when they affect daily life in Cancun. Start with today’s headlines, then scan neighborhood coverage for the details on the ground. We’ve grown nationally, but our reporting here is local-first and accountability-minded.
