Cozumel, mexico’s largest inhabited island is located just south of Cancun. Though many resorts have opened in the island, majority of Cozumel is still sparsely populated.
Cozumel has a slow-paced atmosphere, a relaxed destination whether day or night. In the island, you can try out snorkeling and diving, most especially so on the Palancar reef. The Palancar reef is a mountainous underwater formation that is about six miles long and 300 feet high. It is considered to be one of the best diving spots.
In Cozumel, you can also try out deep-sea fishing, which is a very popular event there particularly in sailfish catching. To the Mayans, Cozumel was a sacred area since there are three Mayan ruins in the island including El Cedral. One of its most notable claim to fame is that Cozumel was once a base for 17th century pirate Captain Henry Morgan.

You can take the short boat ride to Palancar Reef for a dive, or see the reef via a glass-bottom boat.

Michoacan is a state of many interesting talents, hidden or otherwise. In the town of Cocucho lives an 84-year old lady who started the art of needlework craft in a place known for its elegant clay pots, pristine beaches, ice cream parlors and folk arts. For more than 50 years, Hermelinda Reyes Ascensio toiled with decorating plain guanengo (plain cotton blouse), blanket, table clothes, even handkerchief and table napkins with delicate and colorful floral patterns. One giangengo takes about 3-4 months to finish and is being sold for only $30-$40. Her daughter has since took over the business and the craft and has also started her daughter to take part in the tradition.
That would make sure the art of beautiful needlework is kept alive in Michoacan.
