COZUMEL ISLAND-MAYAN RIVIERA MEXICO April 6
The island of cozumel also in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, is only 45 minutes away from Playa del Carmen. It can be reached not only by ferry but also by plane. This island has a lot to offer but it is specially fun for those who love to snorkle and scuba dive. That is because of the crystal clear waters and the variety of sealife that you can see not too far from the shore. The island also has many different stores where you can anything from a t-shirt to an expensive diamond.
The life in Cozumel is more relaxing because there aren’t as many people as in Playa del Carmen or Cancun. This is due to the fact that there are not as many hotels. If you get the chance to visit this island, I would recommend you to rent a car or if you like the adventure you can also rent a scooter. This is the cheapest way to get around because the different beaches are far apart and taking a taxi is really expensive. I had the opportunity to visit the island together with my wife and a cople of canadian friends and I have to say that we had a wonderful time. We rented 4 scooters and toured the whole island. We stopped at every beach that we liked, snorkled for a while and then went to the next one. That was a really exciting experience that I’m looking forward to repeat.
