A deserted island
Four decades ago, Cancún was a deserted island and few even knew of its existence.

Located in a nearly forgotten region of the Caribbean, it consisted of a series of sand dunes in the shape of a number "7″ -some parts of which were only 20 meters (66 ft) wide- separated from the mainland by two narrow canals that opened out on to a huge lagoon system.

The coast was comprised of marshes, mangroves, virgin jungle and unexplored beaches. Even its name was not clear: some maps called it "Kankun" (a single word written with the two "k's"), which means "pot of snakes" or "nest of snakes" in Maya.

However, in the first Infratur documents (a government agency existing prior to the creation of Fonatur), it is written as two words, "Kan Kun," and occasionally, "Can Cún" (in its Spanish form). The current name of "Cancún" is a natural phonetic development that facilitates pronunciation… or maybe it developed by mere chance.

The Master Plan
The Cancún Project was officially approved in 1969, but didn't begin until January, 1970, when the first Infratur technicians arrived. The initial objectives of the project were to open up a road from Puerto Juarez to the island, design a Master Development Plan and build a provisional air strip (located in the area designated for city development, at the site of present-day Kabah Avenue, in front of the Ecological Park).
