Things to do on Cozumel Island

HISTORY

     Cozumel (Cuzamil) is the first geographic spot that welcomes the rays of the sun every day. Ever since its human settlement in the year 300 BC, it sets a particular tone both for its visitors and its residents.

There is a vast collection of remains left by its ancient habitants as evidence of the importance the Island had as a maritime trading port. This was before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors who, due to the geographic position, chose it as a key site for their navigation, and enjoyed some of the most beautiful sunsets.

Warm to its guests ever since, cradle of marine turtles, flamingos, raccoons and coatimundis. Cozumel also sheltered famous pirates around the 17th. century, and for reasons unknown, it was suddenly uninhabited.

CULTURE

     Presently the culture of Cozumel is quite peculiar with its unique way of life and strong roots deriving from its re-inhabitants. The residents have inherited the simplicity, tranquility and slow-paced life featured in fishermen villages of long ago.

People have a deeply rooted custom of listening to the radio in spite of the arrival of eccentric modern media. They are plentiful when it comes to creativity, allegory and joyfulness during the Carnival (February) and the El Cedral (May) celebrations.

These festivities bring all who like to come to Cozumel TOGETHER to celebrate. “San Miguel” is the name borne by this small town, in honor of the archangel. He is considered the protector of the Island and its residents even when they are away.

With great honor the Cozumelenians have known how to sacrifice the Island’s original urban appearance modifying it in order to give way to progress. This leads to sharing the beauty of the town, the wild nature and the unique color of the surrounding waters with other visitor’s cultures.

ECOLOGY

       The Island’s dimensions are 48 kilometers from north to south and 18 from east to west. This enables visitors to explore it while visiting even for a short amount of time.
The white beaches that frame the Island are not the only reason you will fall in love with it.

The average ambient temperature is 27°C; warm summers are between 27°C to 32°C, and in winter the temperature cools to around 21°C. Therefore, everyday is a good day to go to the beach and the water stands between 27°C to 31°C year round.

One of its great privileges is sheltering the largest reef system in the Americas.
The Meso-American Reef makes every divers’ dreams as it houses more than 250 species of tropical fish. The queen angel fish and the frogfish not seen anywhere else in the world. Marine turtles and a variety of other marine species are there for those who rather enjoy snorkeling.

On land the trees are flecked by fragatebirds, cormorants, tree frogs, and some pelicans that like to hang around humans at the waterfront promenade.

During mating season there are complete battalions of crab. Around the Island, friendly iguanas showing all ranges of colors. If it rains, tortoises come out to take a stroll through the jungle and city enjoying the humidity. In the meantime, marine turtles bury their eggs in any of the Island’s beaches without stopping at curious human gazes.
