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.
