The past vs. the present: I still remember my first visit to Cozumel. What impressed me most was its people. The native Mayan people are friendly and warm. The traditional Mayan dress shown in this picture is seldom seen these days except during folklore dances held in various places throughout the island. Also, today's Cozumeleņo is a little more non traditional!!..... |

Cozumel Carnival! Carnival 2008 was a blast as usual! There were tons of great costumes, dancing, food, drinks, floats and fun!! This photo was taken of one of the locals that participates every year. He seems to come up with more outlandish costumes each time. If you want to know more about Carnival Cozumel just follow the link on the picture to your right. Come and enjoy Cozumel's best party of the year!

Downtown: As you can see by the photo on the left Downtown Cozumel has a very special beauty all its' own. It sure has changed since my first visit! The sleepy little fishing village of the past has been replaced by a newer more diversified vacation destination. Oh well, the price of "progress"!! |
|
The Square on Sunday Night: Don't let the picture without people fool you. Every Sunday night around 9:00 p.m. it gets packed with locals and tourists alike, dancing to the live band that plays in the gazebo! I remember the first time I heard them (around 16 years ago). They weren't that good but we sure had fun. Well, they've gotten much better and the fun is still the same! |
|
| Hey! What about that things to do list you promised??!! |
Well, I have to admit I do get a little sentimental about tradition but I guess we should move on. |

The first thing that comes to mind when I'm on
vacation is doing absolutely nothing. After all, I've just been on an
airplane, in a car, packing and wrapping things up at work so I can get away
and do absolutely nothing! I can think of no better place to do nothing then on Passion Island. It is the newest thing to do and is being written up all over the internet. Luckily, we have a link just by clicking on the picture taken at Passion Island on the left that will transport you there! As of today; April 19th, 2008 it is about the hottest thing to do on the island since sliced tortillas!! :-) Seriously, this is a must if you want to have the most amazing tropical vacation on Cozumel possible! |
| The picture on the right was
taken by me on a little known spot on the southernmost tip of the
island (O.K. so it's a little blurry; that's because it was taken in
1987!). My amigo Gillermo and friend
Christine went there to spend the day and eat some fresh fruits and
fish. We never saw anyone the whole
day!!
The newest craze is the Passion Island excursion. We've been getting a lot of e-mails lately asking about how to make a reservation for the tour. Well, just click on the picture on the right and it will take you there!

Horseback Riding: As you know, everyone on Cozumel looks like this! The fact is that horseback riding is very popular and you can take a ride in the Jungle as well as on the beach. It's a lot of fun and you can really relax in the process. |
|
Swim with the Dolphins: Perhaps riding dolphins is more your speed. Well thanks to "progress" we now have a special place where you can do that! They will perform special tricks for you and you can watch them get their rewards! Actually, the dolphin encounter program is located in Chankanaab park, which is located on the southwest side of the island. The park has a beach, replica of a Mayan village, lagoon, and a tropical forest with iguanas the size of small dragons! Seriously, it's a fun place to spend a day. You can even learn something about the old Mayan way of life. |

Deep Sea Fishing: So instead of swimming with them you want to catch them and eat them?! Shame on you! Actually we don't eat flipper but we do like his counterpart with the same name. Dolphin (fish), Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna and SHARK are just some of the fish caught in our waters! |
