At Fiesta Americana Vacation Club, Cozumel is one of the ideal destinations for those seeking a peaceful vacation without being far from the best areas and tourist attractions in the region.
As one of the largest islands in the country and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve , Cozumel has plenty of places to discover and activities you can do alone or with your partner or family.
Whether it’s your first time on this beautiful island or you’ve already enjoyed its incredible beaches, here are some places you can’t miss.
5 places to visit in Cozumel:
1. Visit Punta Sur Reserve
If you’re traveling to Cozumel with Fiesta Americana Vacation Club, you shouldn’t miss the chance to go to Punta Sur Reserve.
As its name suggests, it’s a nature reserve and the largest in the region, so you’ll be able to appreciate not only its natural splendor, but also the great variety of animal species that exist, from amphibians and reptiles to exotic birds.
Best of all, Punta Sur Reserve promotes ecotourism, which means the activities you do inside have minimal environmental impact.
2. Explore the jungle
Although Cozumel is famous for its beaches, that’s not the only beauty it holds. Its jungles are also worth visiting and, if you have an adventurous spirit, it’s definitely the ideal activity for you.
Just as the beach offers a wide variety of water sports, in the jungle area there are jeep expeditions or cenote dives.
3. Go to a pearl farm
If you’ve never been to a pearl farm, take advantage of your next trip to Cozumel to do so.
It may not be as popular as snorkeling or diving, but it’s worth taking a small tour of these farms to learn more about the sustainable way pearls are cultivated, plus you can buy a gift or souvenir for friends and family at the end.
4. Visit an archaeological site
El Mexico’s Caribbean is rich in archaeological zones and Cozumel is no exception. On the island, more than 30 sites with evidence of pre-Hispanic activities have been found.
The most important zones are:
- San Gervasio, which was dedicated to Ixchel, the goddess of fertility.
- El Caracol, located inside Punta Sur Reserve.
- El Cedral site, characterized by having been built between 800 and 1200 A.D. and by having been a place of agricultural activity.
5. Try the regional cuisine
Restaurants, food stalls, and markets abound in Cozumel, so not putting together a food tour would be a mistake.
By trying the region’s different dishes, you don’t just get to know its characteristic flavors and ingredients, you also learn more about its customs and culture. If you stay at one of the Fiesta Americana Vacation Club hotels in Cozumel, you’ll also be able to enjoy delicious food and drinks every day.
Plus, staying at Fiesta Americana Cozumel All Inclusive or The Explorean Cozumel means amenities like a spa, kids’ areas, a lobby bar, and fabulous views of the sea or the jungle.
