Cozumel has ranked for years among the top five dive destinations in the world. Tall reefs line the southwest coast, creating towering walls that offer divers a fairy-tale landscape to explore. For nondivers, it has the beautiful water of the Caribbean with all the accompanying watersports and seaside activities.
Twelve miles off Mexico's Yucatán coast lies a tantalizing island getaway. Welcome to Cozumel, Mexico's largest island and a laid-back Caribbean jewel! Legend has it that this island was the home of the Mayan goddess Ixchel, and temples were built in her honor throughout the island. She sent her favorite bird, the swallow, as a sign of her gratitude, leading the Mayans to name the island Cozumel, "land of the swallows." And while it is just a short trip away from Cancun, this pristine island and top diving destination is not lost in the shadow of its flashy mainland neighbor.
Cozumel's relaxed and casual ambience is a result of the unique blend of Mexican and Caribbean culture. The people are as warm and hospital as the climate, and you'll be delighted by the diverse pleasures they offer. Small town shops and homey restaurants will win your heart, and world-class snorkeling and diving will get it pumping with excitement. Your adventurous spirit will exult in hikes through jungles and ancient Mayan ruins. And when you're ready for the thrill of a wild nightlife, the mainland is just a quick ferry ride away. No matter what your pleasures, from the depths of the sea to the heights of ancient wonders, you'll be excited and bewitched by Cozumel.
