About this experience

The unique cultural heritage of Cozumel. Rich in traditions, history and customs, it faces challenges with the rapid growth of the
Turistic development. This growth risks overshadowing the deep-rooted traditions that define the island's identity.
The transformation observed in regions such as
Cancún and Playa del Carmen serve as a warning example.

Tourism and global influences have diluted the essence of local culture, impacting the authentic experience of the area.
