History of Cozumel Walking Tour
Located just off the shores of Mexico lies Cozumel, a largely undeveloped island full of Mayan ruins, a robust mangrove forest and some of the best diving spots in the world. A leisurely, 45-minute ferry ride can take you between downtown Cozumel and Playa del Carmen on the mainland.
During this informative walking tour, you and your small group will explore San Miguel's beautiful downtown waterfront while learning fascinating facts about the culture and history of Cozumel.
Your local, knowledgeable professional guide will take you to see the Plaza of the 2 Cultures with its Mayan ruins and tribute to the fertility goddess Ixchel. In the downtown Main Plaza, you will hear the stories behind the Mexican flag monument as well as the Cozumel clock tower and the first city hall.
Along the way, you will stop for a brief history lesson in tequila making with a tequila tasting. Expand on your culinary exposure with a mouthwatering lunch at a local and popular venue to re-energize.
Following the tour, you will have some free time to explore the downtown area on your own and shop for souvenirs to remember your day in Cozumel.
