How “near” is decided

By distance from a fixed point, not by a neighbourhood boundary. Every experience here starts, or makes its first stop, within 8km of Quinta Avenida — measured from the coordinates the operator publishes. Boundaries are contested even among locals, so we state the thing we can actually verify. Experiences that publish no location cannot appear here; they are all on the full Cancún list, which also has a map view.
