Cozumel goes far beyond its famous beaches. This experience takes you from the world of the ancient Maya to the colorful reefs and turquoise waters that made the island famous.
At San Gervasio, you're not simply walking through ruins. Explore a sanctuary dedicated to Ixchel, where Maya women once made pilgrimages across the region. Then cacao, chocolate and traditional tortilla making turn history into something you can see, taste and experience.
Panoramic stops along Cozumel's coastline showcase the island's beauty, while a tequila experience adds another distinctly Mexican tradition to the day.
And Cozumel wouldn't be Cozumel without getting into that incredible water. Snorkel a Caribbean reef, then settle into your reserved beach area with a welcome drink, an umbrella overhead and the turquoise sea in front of you.
Maya history, Mexican flavors, spectacular island views, reef snorkeling and time to relax by the Caribbean Sea—all the ingredients for an incredible day in Cozumel.
