There are some exceptional places in the world, which have an atmosphere of magic, and have kept their traditions intact throughout time.

But Mexico is a country so rich, that some say “it’s a country made of 32 countries”; therefore the state of Quintana Roo, renowned at a global level for having some of the most colorful, dreamlike beaches, was recently granted with two new Magical Town designations.
Though this territory was just declared as a free and sovereign state on 1974, it boasts uncountable archeological vestiges, along with charming spots that witnessed historical events.
