## Caption

Fun fact! Did you know that “Yucatán” (the peninsula where Cancún is located) actually means “I don’t understand”? 🏝️

When Spanish explorers arrived to what is now called the Yucatán peninsula and asked the native community (in Spanish) where they were, the locals, not understanding the language, responded with what sounded like “Yucatán” — meaning “I don’t understand!”

Thanks for the recommendation, @thepandoracluster!
