HOLA!
Cozumel - a Caribbean
island east of the Quintana Roo coast, is Mexico’s largest
island with a territorial extension. The informal atmosphere here is typically Mexican;
relaxing, friendly and unpretentious. Encircled by a garland
of superb coral reefs, Cozumel is an underwater enthusiast's
paradise with expansive beaches, hidden coves and calm bays.
Just 53 km long and 15 km wide, care has been taken to
control development and preserve the island¹s natural gifts.
The island’s only town is San Miguel de
Cozumel, which has a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere and
Mexico’s most important international cruise dock. Tourists
flock to Cozumel looking for the
peace, quiet and comfort that the island’s hotel zone
offers. During your stay, you can also enjoy excellent golf
courses, spas, and restaurants serving up a wide array of
regional fish and seafood dishes. And of course there’s the
thriving nightlife in the bars, where one can drink national
and exotic beverages with new friends under a moonlit sky. |

The island
is covered with lush jungle
vegetation and surrounded by rocky coastlines, white-sand
beaches, lagoons and mangroves. The waters encircling the
island have an impressive group of coral reefs that are part
of the Great Mayan Reef, the second largest reef system in
the world. Marine reserves of great ecological importance,
such as Parque Marino Nacional Arrecifes de
Cozumel (Cozumel
National Reef Marine Park) and Parque Natural
Chankanaab (Chankanaab
Nature Park), were created to protect areas with a wide
diversity of marine life, and they have drawn the attention
of researchers and marine biologists such as Jacques
Cousteau. Moreover, they are great places to do scuba diving
and ecotourism outings.
