Western Caribbean

Cozumel, Mexico

Mexico's island of swallows, ringed by some of the Caribbean's best reefs.

Cozumel lies off the coast of Quintana Roo, opposite Playa del Carmen. Ships dock at three piers near the town of San Miguel. The island's western shore fronts the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, making it one of the world's best-known drift-diving and snorkelling destinations, while the jungle interior hides the Maya site of San Gervasio.
