Cozumel, Mexico
Chichen Itza
No visit to Mexico would be complete without exploring Chichen Itza, one of the most famous Mayan temple cities and visited sites in the country. Meaning ‘at the well of the Itza’, this pre-Colombian city was the political and economic centre of the Mayan civilisation. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its Pyramid of Kulkulcan was also voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Tulum
One of the most visited and best preserved archaeological sites in Mexico, Tulum is a walled Mayan city, perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The only Mayan city built on the coast, Tulum is one of the most scenic archaeological sites in the region. The once-thriving city was built in the 13th century during the post-classical period, and it was one of the last cities to be inhabited by the Mayans.
Cozumel Snorkelling
Cozumel is one of the Caribbean’s top destinations for snorkelling, boasting stunning, crystal clear waters, which are filled with many reefs and a whole host of colourful tropical marine life.
