Visiting Cozumel on a Shoestring: 7 Tips for Saving Money By : Jamie Jefferson Cozumel makes the perfect location for a relaxing, memorable vacation. And it can be enjoyed for less than you might think. Here are seven tips.
Cozumel has been a tourism hub for over a millennium. The ancient Mayans were required, at least once in their lifetime, to make a pilgrimage to the shrine of Ixchel, the ancient goddess of fertility and the moon. The temple ruins still stand at the archeological site of San Gervasio.
Ecotourism at its best can be found here. Jungle and swampy lagoons, which are home to animals and birds that have never left the island, cover Cozumel's mostly undeveloped territory at the center of the island. Noteworthy is the Chankanaab National Park, a Cozumel icon, and the Punta Sur Ecological Reserve. The huge protected area at the southern tip of the island includes Punta Celarain and its historical lighthouse, as well as the Colombia Lagoon, a shelter for many of the island's endemic species.
Travel to Cozumel in the early spring and experience Carnaval! Grandparents, adults, teenagers and children alike come together to participate in the harmonically colorful and musical explosion. Within the Mexican-Caribbean, here is the most popular and authentic Carnaval celebration, providing a more traditional and family-oriented event. Together locals and visitors enjoy five days of fun that include parades, floats, traditional regional foods, music and dancing. The highlight of the festivities is the Comparsas Ball that features an incredible dance competition, not to be missed! |
On Mexico's largest island, active life revolves around warm breezes. For surfers, windsurfers and kiteboarders, tropical trade winds and the occasional winter norther provide the sporty lift. In 2005 cozumel was pounded by two hurricanes that did significant damage. Instead of simply patching up and painting, many hotels and other businesses seized the opportunity to seriously expand and upgrade. Today, Cozumel boasts a new image, one that adds a sophisticated side to complement its long-favored status as a daiquiri-and-divers destination. If you haven't been back since the storms, you're in for some surprises. Cozumel's untamed coast is home to a clutch of laid-back beach bars--including Mezcalito's Bar & Grill -- where hammock swinging and downing cold Coronas are the dominant forms of exercise.
