Travel Guide to Cozumel, Mexico

This is the largest Mexican city, the coast of which is simply fully occupied by white sand beaches, while the central part is covered with greenery.

Since that time several dozens of hotels have been built there. Every hotel has a beach on its territory, a chain of restaurants and shops.

Many tourists simply enjoy sunbathing and swimming, or drinking fresh cocktails in local bars, but active sport lovers will find many interesting and entertaining activities in Cozumel. Asul Gallery features true glass masterpieces created by local glassblowers. Here you will also find a large collection of vases, lamps and jewelry made in the Mayan style. Balam Gallery is no less popular. It demonstrates a rare type of art – drawing on birds’ feathers. Small frames that we usually use for photos keep feathers that seem ordinary at a glance. However, if you look closer, you will see drawings featuring beautiful landscapes and flowers.
