Quintana RooQuintana Roo was granted statehood, with Chetumal as its capital, on October 8, 1975.  Undeveloped "Costa Maya" in red The Mayas of Quintana Roo have been transformed from a hoe agriculture into a thriving tourist industry in the space of 20 years. At more than 5 billion dollars annually, the state derives 90% of it's gross domestic product (GDP) from tourism; and generates more than half of Mexico's tourist related foreign exchange. 100 years ago the Indians of the Yucatan were virtual slaves of Wrigley's chewing gum empire. Today, they charge 50.00 dollars per person for a 2 hour jungle tour. Quintana Roo will keep you active and occupied (if you want) hiking, exploring ancient Mayan cities, temples and sites, back-country adventures, jeep tours, fresh and saltwater diving, trophy fishing, wind surfing, para-sailing, water-skiing, jet-skiing, and horseback tours. Eco and wildlife tours have become popular area attractions in recent years and provide opportunities to view rare and unusual wildlife. Every major hotel will have a tour desk or concierge to help plan your excursion.  If you're really adventuras, and want to save some money, buy a road map, rent a jeep, and "Hi Yo Silver".    Whether buying a new car, or a used car, or selling a vehicle; first check KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
