Things to do in Isla Mujeres
For those who believe that Isla Mujeres is just another island with beautiful beaches, we can say that they are wrong. The island offers fun for all ages with snorkeling, diving, beaches, cultural center and historical tours that delight everyone.
The center of the islet, for example, is perfect for those who want to buy souvenirs and handicrafts from the region at a more affordable price, as well as to find good restaurants and bars. Also, right in the middle of the island is Fazenda Mundaca, one of the historic destinations that tell a little about the cultural identity of Isla Mujeres, with Mayan and pirate artifacts.
The Dolphin Discovery and Turtle Sanctuary are excellent trips to do with children where you can learn more about marine life and preserving the environment. In addition, everyone has the opportunity to have direct contact with these animals, such as dolphins, seahorses and giant tortoises, among others.
The beaches on the island are calmer than the beaches in Cancun, ideal for those who just like to relax and enjoy the calm waves of the sea. One of the best known is the North beach, with warm, crystalline waters. In fact, the entire island is bathed by crystal clear waters with excellent visibility, a perfect environment for snorkeling and diving.
Parque Garrafon, in Punta Sur, has several attractions, such as snorkeling, zip lines, kayaking, swimming with dolphins and a tour guide along the island's cliffs, the highest point on Isla Mujeres. There you can appreciate Mayan sculptures and temples, as well as a beautiful view.
