More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull off the ferry into the bright, staccato light of Cozumel and slide into a cool air-conditioned van or a wind-in-your-hair Jeep. The engine hums like a co-conspirator as your private guide sketches options: a coral-fringed beach stop, a local market run, or a short climb to a Punta Sur viewpoint where the reef pushes turquoise water toward the shore.

Cozumel was an important Maya pilgrimage island and later became a waypoint for Spanish navigation; San Gervasio preserves the island’s pre-Columbian footprint.
