Embark on a catamaran early in the morning, admire from afar the luxury and sophistication of the Hotel Zone in Cancún and begin to move toward an unparalleled natural universe. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?

You will contemplate the horizon trying to discern the ideal line that separates the sea from the sky, glance around and see the tropical forest from a distance; later, the crystalline waters of the Caribbean Sea will have your full attention. If you’re patient, you might just spot colorful fish and dolphins who, with welcoming dances, will accompany you to your vessel. Yes, you’ll be on your way to Isla Mujeres, one of Mexico’s most precious jewels.

It’s well known that the Mexican Caribbean boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, but being there far exceeds anything you might imagine. Isla Mujeres is, without a doubt, one of Quintana Roo’s natural treasures. It is located just about six kilometers from Cancún and transforms into an oasis of tranquility and exoticism, ideal for those wanting a break from the bustling cosmopolitan life of the Hotel Zone.

The island, as the locals affectionately call it, is only eight kilometers long and half a kilometer wide. Travelers who wish to enjoy every corner of this Caribbean eden can do so through the famous and traditional ride aboard a golf cart. It only takes about an hour to tour, and it will be a fascinating experience where you come face to face with the most exotic elements of the native nature. The white sands shine intensely, from which tropical palm trees emerge, among which striking iguanas roam. These creatures are impressively sized, but don’t be scared—they’re harmless!

The warm waters of the Caribbean Sea invite you to enjoy unforgettable afternoons in the sun. You can simply dedicate yourself to relaxing and enjoying an exotic drink under a large palapa, swimming in calm waters along the shores, kayaking, snorkeling, and enjoying the company of countless colorful fish and the most beautiful coral reefs. And, if you’re up for it, take a picture lifting a nurse shark. Yes, you’ll need a lot of strength to do that!

Did you know that the Mayans were the first to inhabit this island, and that they declared it as the Shrine of Ixchel? Yes, the Mayan Goddess of the Moon, Fertility, Health, and Love received all kinds of offerings on this land, and in her honor, all the rituals were performed.

If you want to visit a good restaurant and some craft shops, you can do that too. In Isla Mujeres everything is very close, and the best part is that at every step you’ll discover a little more of what the Mexican Caribbean has to offer you. Disembark at the pier and discover every corner of this piece of paradise!
