Women's Island México

Isla Mujeres is situated in the Caribbean Sea, close to the Yucatan peninsula, southeast of Mexico. The island is one of the ten municipalities of the State of Quintana Roo and is located thirteen kilometers from the city of Cancun, the region's primary tourist hub. Isla Mujeres is a quaint and charming island, positioned across the bay from Cancun. Its warm and clear waters are the perfect habitat for dolphins and turtles, and swimming with them is one of the most appealing activities. This is a place with history and stunning beaches. At the southern tip of the island, there are remnants of a Mayan temple. The island gained worldwide fame in the 70s when the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks was introduced to the world by renowned Mexican oceanographer Ramón Bravo. The island is also recognized for its beautiful underwater landscapes, excellent snorkeling and diving sites, and the rich biodiversity it offers. Another intriguing attraction of the island is the park and beach club "El Garrafon" where you can snorkel, snuba, sea trek, kayak among others. Further into this park, there is a small area dedicated to Ixchel Arquelogica.
