Cozumel Walking Tour
Cozumel, Mexico
Why Walk Cozumel
Cozumel is a flat limestone island 20 kilometers off the Yucatan Peninsula, surrounded by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — the second largest in the world. Jacques Cousteau helped make the island famous for diving in the 1960s, and the crystal-clear waters and coral formations remain world-class. The island was sacred to the Maya goddess Ixchel, and small ruins remain.
