Cozumel Travel Information
San Miguel de Cozumel has it all, and still retains the quaint atmosphere of a scenic getaway. Cozumel is known for its fabulous scuba diving, its coral reef and beautiful tropical fish, however it has maintained a charming personality thats hard to match. Cozumel is only a 30 minute ferry ride from Playa del Carmen. There are 14 block of interesting shopping, and lovely plaza, trinket shops, banks, dive shops and restaurants. There are accommodations for all budget ranges, all-inclusive hotels, bed and breakfasts but not many camping facilities.
Cozumel has a very exciting history. The name Cozumel, :Land of the Swallows" in Mayan, sounds exotic. It was once a pirate hangout for the likes of Jean Lafitte.
There is many fine dive shops in Cozumel that is safe friendly and inexpensive. Whatever your dive needs are they can usually accommodate them. people can arrange a fishing trip for you weather you want a $100 1/2 day trip or a yacht that sails six for over a $1,000. You may also be approached by a "comisionista" who is a licensed broker for arranging fishing trips. They work only on commission and tips. Ask if they are legitimate.
The San Gervasio Mayan Ruins is the only excavated one on Cozumel. It is a very significant one because it was built to worship Ixchel the fertility goddess. The Mayans rowed across from the coast every year to pay homage. Also this was the site of the first Catholic mass in Mexico.
Chankanaab Park is a beachfront park was completely rebuilt in 1996 and is picturesque to say the least. It has a palapa studded beach perfect for sunbathers.

Just off the beach is an archeological park that has winding trails that go through the jungle. Tours are available. There is even a botanical garden with hundreds of species of plant life.
