Join a group of folks all bent on seeing the best that Cozumel has to offer. Your guide will begin as you board your bus and within 45 minutes, depending on where you begin your tour, you will arrive at San Gervasio ruins.

Cozumel is home to numerous Mayan ruin sites scattered all over the island which are both excavated and non-excavated. Among these excavated or partially uncovered sites is San Gervasio. It may not be apparent but in terms of importance in the Mayan culture, Cozumel's San Gervasio Ruins are a more significant site than Tulum which was simply a coastal "watch post". These ruins are dedicated to Ix Chel, the Mayan goddess of fertility and rain. In ancient times every Mayan woman was expected, at least once in her lifetime, to make the journey to Cozumel from the mainland to provide offerings to Ix Chel for her family's fertility and crop sustenance. Hear this history during your stop for photos.

Just a short ride away during which you will see and learn more about the island of Cozumel you will enter the east coast, best known for its rugged coastline. Take in the rough weathered natural beauty from El Mirador Lookout. The sea has carved an arch in the rock which you can climb on top of for great views. Look out towards Cuba, only 60 miles away across the horizon of the Caribbean Sea.

After about 2 hours of touring, you will arrive at the water park. Now you can let loose on all of the ingredients that will create a perfect day at the beach. From the list of activities, you can see the wonderful options available to you during your stay.
