The lagoon of Bojorquez is located in Cancun, an island which over forty years ago was deserted in a forgotten Caribbean location accented by majestic sand dunes. Consisting of the dunes shaped in the number "7" with only parts of it about 66 feet wide, the island is separated by the mainland with its two narrow canals, continuing onto a gigantic lagoon system.
Cancan is one of the largest and most ambitious tourist developments in the entire country of Latin America, with its lagoons playing an extremely major role as both an aesthetic resource in addition to that of a fascinating tourist attraction. Things like marshes and virgin jungles are offset by the excitement of unexplored beaches and mangrove, originally named by the Maya language as something which referred to as a "pot or nest of snakes."
The coastal lagoon of Bojorquez is located in the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula, the largest of two lagoons—Nichupte and Bojorquez—separated by a sand barrier that almost encloses them. The bottom of the lagoon is covered by breathtaking dense vegetation called "Thalassia testudinum," along with rich varieties of seaweed. Smaller lagoons called Somosaya and Rio Ingles are part of the lagoon system, all filled with fresh water because of the submerged natural wells that are located in the central and south corners of the lagoon's ego-system.
The area of Cancun lay in the state of Quintana Roo, and was planned and constructed around the entire Nechupte-Bojorquez lagoon system with some minor changes, such as bottom dredging and cloacal water discharging into the lagoons.
