About 25 minutes from Cancun, there is a magic place called Isla Mujeres (Women Island). In ancient times it used to be a sacred place where the Maya people had a sanctuary dedicated to Ixchel, the fertility goddess, and Maya women had to cross to the island in order to make the transition from girls to women.
Nowadays, Isla, as we also call it, is one of the musts of the Mexican Caribbean. One can reach the island by Ferry, on a trip that lasts about 20 minutes from any of the 3 departing points in Cancun Hotel Zone and 1 in Puerto Juarez, Cancun.
Some of the amazing activities you can perform in Isla Mujeres are snorkeling and diving to find the hidden treasures of the Mexican Caribbean and the second largest coral reef in the world; visiting the Turtle Farm, Hacienda Mundaca or Punta Sur Lighthouse to know some of the most important sites of the place; relax on the beautiful beaches of this incredible island or in any beach club around it to enjoy the amazing views of a crystal clear blue sea. Also, tour Isla on a golf cart and delight in the high quality and delicious meals served at the many restaurants that you will find by the beach.
Visit Isla Mujeres and let yourself be amazed by the charms of this small but quaint island in the Mexican Caribbean.
