The
Yucatan is the legendary land of the sun and relaxation.
Cozumel was a Mayan providence and it means the
land of the swallow. Is the biggest Mexican island
of the Caribbean. It is also the most populated.
Cozumel is located 18 Km (11 miles) from the Yucatan
peninsula. It is 56 Km (90 miles) from north to
south and 14 Km (9 miles) from east to west, and
a total 500 square Km. (340 sq miles).
Few places can bring together history, beaches,
beautiful nature, exotic cuisine, and the traditional
hospitality of its people.
During the past 20 centuries the habitants of this
island have practiced the art of living, creating,
and constructing on this land. This Mexican region
possesses one the most striking archeological Mayan
structures that are still appreciated by mankind.
Cozumel possesses an amazing underwater world. It
has the biggest coral reef in the Western hemisphere
that extends 320 Km (515 miles) from Isla de las
Mujeres to the Bay of Honduras.
Despite all the modern accommodations, Cozumel
has not lost its flavor. It conserves that tranquility
and enchantment of a small island. Practically
half of its surface has been made into a national
park. |
