In Cozumel many activities can be carried out due to its privileged location. Cozumel is an island made of limestone, the same that comes from the reefs, which is why it also has several cenotes. Cozumel has a humid climate with abundant rains in summer and little in winter as it is surrounded by warm waters of the Caribbean Sea as well as the current of the Yucatan Channel, which causes the prevalence of high pressures, making it an island with high humidity. All these characteristics added together result in Cozumel being a spectacular and paradisiacal island since it has beautiful beaches with clear sand and crystal clear water covered by spectacular reefs of various colors with an immense variety of flora and fauna since due to their characteristics, the reefs of the world concentrate 25% of the aquatic fauna and flora. Cozumel is also rich in terrestrial flora and fauna with 27 species of animals endemic to the island of Cozumel such as the pygmy raccoon, the island coati, the Cozumel lizard, the cozumel mockingbird and the Cozumel vireo.

The latest research indicates that the first settlers of the island of Cozumel arrived there around the 2nd century BC. It is believed that these individuals were part of semi-nomadic Caribbean groups dedicated to fishing and hunting; As of the 3rd century, the Mayans began to populate the island with a cultural level that was definitely higher than their predecessors, since they practiced agriculture and mastered architectural techniques, which is why in Cozumel there are traces of their activity in some ruins and remains of pottery found in the north center of the island such as “San Gervasio” and “Santa Rita”. Already by the year 1200 of our era, “the island of Cozumel” was a center of trade with distant lands, since merchandise arrived in Cozumel from distant places, many of the items were stored in canoes before being sent to other points of distribution.

From the year 1500 of our era, the first Spanish explorers began to arrive, such as Juan de Grijalva who was the first to land on the island and Hernán Cortés who would later travel to the capital of the Aztecas “Tenochtitlan”. During the colonial era, agricultural activities prevailed on the Cozumel Island.

Cozumel has several traditional festivals such as the Cedral fair which takes place in the town of Cedral in Cozumel in which a miracle attributed to a cross during “the caste war” is celebrated.

Another traditional festival in Cozumel is “The Cozumel Carnaval” which is one of the oldest in Mexico and one of the most important; “The Cozumel Carnaval” is a mixture of diverse cultural expressions, dances and rhythms from the Yucatan Peninsula and the Caribbean. The Cozumel Carnival has its origins in 1874 and is a tradition started by migrant families from Yucatan, Campeche and other places who found their new home in Cozumel.
