Vacationing
on Cozumel Island
|

Cozumel
an island paradise visited and
adored by travelers from
around the globe. It’s not
just the beautiful white sandy
beaches that circle the island
or the almost perfect year
round vacation weather, nor is
it the plentiful supply of
lodging, international food
and variety of entertainment
options that bring travelers
back time and time again.
Cozumel is the scuba diver’s
paradise containing an
abundance of coral reefs,
brightly painted fish and
crystal clear waters. Imagine
being able to descend to
minimum depths and see almost
200 feet around, gazing at
some of the most unique and
beautiful underwater scenes
imaginable. Even for the less
adventurous who don’t want
to scuba dive, the 80 degree
water and rich coral reefs
teeming with wildlife, offer
unforgettable experiences to
snorkelers and swimmers.
Mexico’s largest island,
just 28 miles long and 10
miles wide, Cozumel is located
off the east coast of the
Yucatan Peninsula. For history
buffs, this unique island is a
beneficiary of the Mayan
culture of farmers, fisherman
and warriors that prospered on
the nearby mainland. Day trips
to ancient ruins at Chichen
Itza, Tulum and Coba provide
an exciting way to blend some
educational memories with your
ocean adventure. In fact, one
of the lesser known but still
fascinating sites can be found
right on Cozumel. Called San
Gervacio, the site has been
turned into a beautiful park
and was once the place where
Mayan women journeyed to
worship the goddess Ixchel,
the goddess of fertility.
In addition to the fabulous
beaches and ocean waters,
Cozumel is home to a system of
underground rivers that
honeycomb the porous limestone
of the area, providing the
truly adventurous with some of
the most beautiful cave or
“cenote” diving found
anywhere on the globe. Filled
with fresh water that is
almost as clear as air, the
sights in these underground
lakes are unequaled in their
natural beauty and splendor.
Truly, Cozumel has something
to offer a wide variety of
vacationers and pleasure
seekers. From the exhausted
city dweller who yearns for
the peace and quiet of a
beautiful tropical paradise,
to the life challenging
adventurous types who crave
excitement and new, unique
experiences, to the history
buff who marvels over the
ruins of past civilizations,
Cozumel has something to offer
everyone.
