I got the letter requesting my biometrics but when I go in the official government page it only appears as if there was one VAC located in Mexico City? I live in Cancun so travelling all the way to Mexico City isn’t an option for me so i was wondering if there was anything else I could do? Is there anywhere else I could do these?

VAC is the only authorized establishment where you can get your Biometrics and submit your passport (if visa is approved).
You can submit from other countries but still on an authorized VAC. Previously there was an applicant who was currently in New York when his biometrics letter came out, so instead of going back to India (I think, can't remember his home county) he decided to submit it on New York. So its either you go to Mexico City or travel overseas with a VAC close to where you are.

Again if your visa if approved, you need to submit your passport to VAC. Some VAC have a courier facility. They will pick-up your passport and deliver it back to you. Check if Mexico City have that option.
