     Just a few miles off the Yucatan coast, 
Cozumel has seduced adventurers for centuries, from the Mayans to Cortez, who 
landed here; pirates, who found sanctuary in its hidden coves, to modern-day 
divers and sun worshippers, who come here for the island's ivory sand beaches, 
jungle trails and botanical gardens, and colorful reefs, teeming with sea life.  |
