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.
