Drive rugged coastal tracks, visit a Maya site and a tequila‑making hacienda, then cool off in Chen Río’s warm pools — all in a five‑hour buggy loop around Cozumel. Practical for most travelers, the tour mixes geology, culture, and hands‑on workshops with short on‑foot stops.

You feel the Caribbean wind cut across your face as the buggy climbs a reef-scraped coastal track — salt on the air, the engine’s thrum underfoot, and an old stone monument waiting in the shade. This five‑hour loop threads the southwest to east coast of Cozumel, stopping at archaeological markers, a working hacienda for tequila tasting, the rock-smashed shoreline of the national reef park, and the warm natural pools of Chen Río.

History
Cozumel was an important island for the Maya, dedicated in part to the goddess Ixchel (fertility and the moon); several coastal sites retain stone monuments and ball‑game references.
Conservation
Much of Cozumel’s shore and reef falls within the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park; visitors should use reef‑safe sunscreen, avoid stepping on coral, and carry out all trash to reduce impacts.
