COZUMEL, Mexico, July 21, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- From
observing ancient ruins and museums, or visiting a large park with
coral reefs is a sight to see, there are many options for
vacationers.
One of the favorites on the island is Museo De La Isla De
Cozumel, which gives a full historical view of the island and its
ecology education within four walls of exhibits. Some of the
exhibits are temporary and others are permanent structures. The
first exhibition hall is all about the island of Cozumel. The ocean is the feature of the
second exhibition hall. For history buffs, Exhibition Hall 3 is
titled Cozumel in History. The
opposite is true for Exhibition 4, which offers a window into
Contemporary Cozumel. In addition, there is the Mayan House, some
temporary and permanent expositions round out the rest of the
attractions in this popular museum. Visitors enjoy the free parking
and can also dine in the restaurant inside, rather then having to
leave and go to another location to eat.
For the active set who prefer to go scuba diving or snorkeling,
a visit to Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park is in store. The English
translation is "little sea" and is located inside the National
Marine Park of Cozumel.
Underground statues, many species of tropical fish, and colorful
reefs can all be seen while exploring underwater. For those who are
shaky with their swimming skills, life vests are available. There
are restaurants and snacks on the premises to feed appetites
whipped up by all that snorkeling and scuba diving. If you prefer
to stay out of the water, a visit to the Botanical Garden, Sea Lion
show, Crocodile Exhibit, and Archaeological Prehispanic Replicas
are all available for viewing. Besides checking out the crocodiles,
those who love mammals can visit the Manatees and Dolphin
Discovery. Those who love tropical fish but do not feel comfortable
swimming next to them will find the Clear Bottom Kayak Adventure
just the ticket. If you are a fan of sunbathing, there are hammocks
available to relax and take a nap.
Visitors to Cozumel that are
interesting in a combination of culture and the history of México
will love Discover México Park. Not only are people able to learn
the cultural aspects of Mexican history they are also introduced to
the specific cuisine from Cozumel
and even the tequila. A four-screen video awaits you at the
entrance to the park displaying photography of Chihuahua,
Oaxaca, and the Riviera Maya. The
Museum of Popular Art allows visitors to observe pottery and
pyramids built by the Maya, Aztec, Olmec, and Totanac people.
Monuments and Cathedrals are reproduced from the Spanish Colonial
times. Lunch featuring Mexican cuisine is served to tourists and
natives after they have viewed all the exhibits. Souvenirs that are
hand crafted and other historical artifacts can be bought in the
newest area called the Papantla Flyers section of the park.
After all that walking it is time to take in some relaxation in
the sun and surf by stopping by Punta Sur Eco Bach Park. This is
touted as the largest ecological reserve located in Cozumel. After soaking in some sun you are
welcome to snorkel in the deep blue sea. Or you can take photos of
the native birds and landscape on the way to observe the famous
Celarain Lighthouse. Boat trips across the Columbia Lagoon are
available to check out the amazing views off the horizon.
A trip to Cozumel offers a
variety of activities for all to explore. Whether you are into the
history of México, its cuisine, museums or adventurous parks, or
all of the above, this Mexican paradise offers something for every
taste.
