Overview

Cozumel is an island that has a fairly large concentration of marine life, becomes an excellent place for diving and snorkeling. Therefore, there you will see many people doing their traditional diving, snorkeling and exploring, even more, this town, which is amazing and very different too.

One of the most striking attractions when reading about Cozumel is El Cielo, a strip of white sand at the southern tip of the island, which belongs to a protected natural area. It is known this because its turquoise waters make it possible to see the thousands of sea stars that inhabit there.

Snorkeling with starfish in Cozumel is one of the most unforgettable experiences you could live in the Riviera Maya.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: During September 2023, the Palancar and Colombia reefs will be closed, due to the protection and care of the marine life of the natural reserve. Therefore, we will be visiting Xhul ha and Palancar (Herradura) reefs instead. Thank you for your understanding.
