Detailed itinerary

The tour begins by driving through the center of San Miguel, where we will show you the most authentic part of our island. The first stop is in our beautiful main square, where we will visit the church of San Miguel, the oldest temple in the village. Right after, you will get to know the city’s iconic clock, and we will end this tour with a photo in the famous letters of Cozumel.

As a second stop, we will take you to a local shop called Revolution Square, renowned for its good promotions and affordable prices. It is the perfect place to shop, carry souvenirs and support local commerce.

Then we will visit two important monuments for the cultural identity of Cozumel: "The Two Cultures" and "The Fertility Goddess: Ixchel." Here we will share valuable information about our history and the heritage of the Mayan culture that still lives on the island.

Our next stop will be at a magical place called Otoch. There you will participate in a Mayan ceremony through the Dance of New Fire, an ancestral tradition full of symbolism. Afterwards, you’ll learn how the Mayans made their own chocolate, taste organic honey, and close with a golden snap when tasting the best artisanal tequila made with blue agave. A unique and flavorful experience.

After a day full of culture and tradition, it is time to relax. We will take you to a beautiful beach club where you can enjoy the sea, take pictures, swim, rest in beds or just let yourself be carried away by the Caribbean breeze.

Finally, we will take a panoramic tour of the east coast of Cozumel. During this journey you will admire the wild beauty of the Caribbean Sea, the contrast of its colors and its connection with nature. A perfect closure for an unforgettable experience.
