The Adena culture is seen as the precursor to the traditions of the Hopewell culture, which are sometimes thought as an elaboration, or zenith, of Adena traditions.
Cancun is one the largest cities in the Yucatan Peninsula, and one of the most visited destinations of international tourism in Mexico. Following are previous population statistics and some population projections: 2005: 526,701. 2006: 530,700. 2007: 622,832.
There are other very minor ruins along the beach, well marked on most maps. Cancun is a destination of different faces. The most famous, a face recognized by much of the world, is the above-mentioned tourist zone. Cancun City. But Cancun has a population of over 450,000 and there is another Cancun, a lesser-known face to many. This is the heartbeat of the entire area; this is Cancun City or simply Centro. This is an area that is not heavily promoted, but should definitely be included as part of your Cancun vacation if you are spending more than just a long weekend. When the beach and hotel scene get to be a bit overwhelming take a short drive and see where the locals live and spend much of their time.
