In the beautiful island of Cozumel, located in the state of Quintana Roo, you can visit a magnificent Mayan bee sanctuary. This one is focused on the melipona bee.

bees-in-honeycomb

Surrounded by a wide range of flora and fauna and in the company of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, in the Mayan bees tour you will be part of a beautiful spectacle of nature.

In this sanctuary you will learn about the nutritional and medicinal properties of Melipona honey.

You will learn about the melipona beecheii (stingless bee) known as ”The sacred Mayan bee” and its close relationship with the Mayan people, who performed sacred ceremonies in its honor thanks to the healing properties they found in honey.

You will also discover the fascinating structures of the hives inside and out and how the bee colony is organized. At the end you will delight your palate by tasting different varieties of honey and observe how it is used to make different artisanal products.

Why are bees so important?

When one asks the traditional Maya priests or the honey beekeepers where these bees get their honey from, they answer that they go to a hole in the sky where the rain gods (the chaques) have a trough (a kind of canoe carved out of a big tree) full of honey and what the bees do is go up to the sky and bring down drops of honey for the people.

It is a sacred honey, the bees are sacred.

In our country, beekeeping is one of the most relevant activities due to the impact it has on sustainable development. For this reason, actions are carried out to raise awareness among the population about the important contribution of bees in food production and the balance of ecosystems, as well as to promote their care and conservation.

Melipona bees are the native species of Mexico, they are of vital importance due to their function as pollinators of plants of interest such as achiote, avocado, coffee, pumpkin, chayote, habanero chili, mango, cucumber, watermelon, tomato, among others…

Also, honey production is very important, there are more than 43 thousand beekeepers nationwide, who in the last 10 years their work has placed Mexico as the fifth largest exporter of honey and the ninth largest producer of honey.

avocado-flower-honey

Curative benefits of its honey

Among the products produced by these bees are honey, pollen, wax, propolis, in addition to their valuable service as pollinators. A melipona hive produces a liter and a half of honey per year, its production process takes longer compared to that of European bees that produce up to 30 liters of honey in a year.

Although honey production is lower, it is much more beneficial than honey from other bees because its medicinal properties help the immune system, and it is also used to cure ailments, wounds, burns and diseases. It is also highly appreciated in the cosmetic industry, as it is used to create products such as soaps, creams and talcum powder.

Characteristics of the melipona bee

The main characteristic of the melipona bee is that it has no sting, but to defend its colony it “bites” everything that represents a threat, they cling in such a way that they die during combat.

They do not molt, their hive is permanent. They adapt easily to artificial hives and their behavior is not aggressive. When the queen bee is fertilized, she cannot fly. For this reason, unlike other species, they do not leave their breeding site. They are resistant to parasites and diseases.

Did you know that… Melipona bees and their honey were taxed, both before and after the arrival of the Spaniards.

Military Ship in the Deep Sea

Since 2000, the C 53 sunken ship near Chankanaab Park has become part of Cozumel’s marine life. Felipe Xicoténcatl C-53 is its name and it is so impressive that it is well worth a dive on your next visit.

excursion-in-cozumel-mexico-tours

C-53 A ship that saved lives for two countries

This mine sweeper was designed for military use in 1944, during World War II. The ship fought in the Pacific and participated in important military operations.
So much so, that it received the five battle stars for its service at sea.
In 1946, when the war was over, she was decommissioned from the U.S. Navy.

excursion-in-cozumel-mexico-tours

In 1962 the Mexican Navy bought the ship to convert her into an Almirante class gunboat. Her new name was Felipe Xicotancatl C-53.

What we know today as the Chankanaab wreck, was patrolling the Gulf of Mexico for 37 years. During that time she fought against illegal smuggling of drugs and weapons, and participated in numerous rescue missions.

Diving in El Barco Hundido (The Sunken Ship)

Although most tourists who visit Cozumel Island prefer to go to Cielo, Palancar, Chancanaab, among other sites where they can snorkel, El Barco Hundido is one of the favorite wrecks or sunken ships for many divers worldwide, it is at a depth of 24 meters, with a length of 56 meters. But the most interesting thing about it is that it is a submerged testimony of history.

excursion-in-cozumel-mexico-tours

The wreck of Chankanaab, Cozumel is one of the few wrecks that can be visited in the waters of the island. The reason is that the ships that have sunk throughout history in its vicinity, or did so at depths inaccessible to divers or have disappeared whipped by currents and tropical storms.

However, the Felipe Xicotencatl C-53 does maintain great attractions that make it worthy of a dive.

Life in this sunken treasure

When it was finally decommissioned in 1999, the Felipe Xicotancatl C-53 still had one more mission to fulfill: to join the underwater treasures of Cozumel to the delight of divers.

On June 5, 2000, she began her new assignment, this time, at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea.

excursion-in-cozumel-mexico-tours

Throughout these 22 years several corals have grown on the metal of the sunken ship, in our visit we can find angel fish, barracudas, green moray eels, giant king crabs and fire worms.

Combined with a night dive in the Paradise reef of Cozumel Island, where many organisms remain asleep and hidden during the day, but during the night it is possible to appreciate a different scene, octopus, lobsters, crabs, squids. This wreck is an authentic historical testimony, but also a flourishing artificial reef exultant with life.

excursion-in-cozumel-mexico-tours

Of course the C-53 can be visited both inside and out. In fact, walking through the corridors, where sailors once worked, is an experience you will thoroughly enjoy.

Believe us when we tell you that descending to this fantastic wreck is an experience in the Cozumel Island Marine Park.

Braving the current is worth it just to see almost the entire deck of the wreck from above. As divers get closer to the wreck, the current decreases, making it easier to make progress. 

Dive guides report that the boat Felipe Xicoténcatl is currently surrounded by sponges, starfish and multicolored fish. Some guides even say that they have seen sharks swimming around this boat, but they are harmless, so it is necessary to be accompanied by a diving expert with a minimum Open Water certification to do these dives.
We also recommend you not to take a flight 18 hours after your last dive.

Fall in love with the stars of "el cielo" in Cozumel

El Cielo is a sandbank located 800 meters off the coast of Cozumel. It gets its name because in this place you can swim, snorkel and see at the bottom a lot of starfish.

Thanks to its sea as a pool and the beautiful colors of the Mexican Caribbean, it has become one of Cozumel’s beaches for children, a favorite of families and all those who visit the island.

Its crystal clear waters and white sand make this activity unique and unforgettable.

How to get to Cozumel el Cielo?

El Cielo is part of a tour offered by many travel agencies from the moment you arrive at the fiscal dock where you get off the ferry.

At the exit you will find a wide variety of options to do this tour that includes snorkeling in two of the best reefs of the island: Palancar and Colombia.

Things to consider before visiting el Cielo Cozumel/Cielito Cozumel

-There are multiple places to hire this tour, for example, the internet pages, or hire them at the Chankanaab park, as well as at the Colombia Lagoon Pier and Palancar beach.

– One of the many advantages of planning this tour is that you will know in advance how much you are going to spend, where you will take the tour, you will secure your trip and if you travel with several friends you could have a preferential price.

– The tour of the two reefs and El Cielo, is approximately four to four and a half hours, from the time you board until you return to the point where your boat departs.

Undoubtedly a good time to appreciate and enjoy absolutely everything.

– It is necessary that before boarding the boat you have your bathing suit.

If you have a backpack, bag, suitcase or anything extra you can leave it on board the boat in a special compartment to avoid getting wet.

– Once in El Cielo it is very important to emphasize that you MUST NOT TOUCH THE SEA STARS, as doing so can kill them. It may be tempting to take a selfie with them, but you are putting the life of this species at risk.

– Don’t forget to bring sunscreen to avoid sunburn and enjoy other places you will surely love on the island.

– The price of the ferry from Playa del Carmen is $300 round trip. You will have to take into account the schedules of this transportation, because if you miss the last boat, you will have to sleep on the island.

– It is recommended, if you suffer from seasickness, not to eat before boarding the ferry, either going to or returning from Cozumel.

If during the trip you feel like vomiting, the Ferry staff will provide you with a bag in case you need it, as well as cotton balls with alcohol if necessary.

Cozumel and its cultural secrets

Beyond its spectacular beaches, Cozumel also has cultural secrets to offer you.

When we go on vacation to a paradisiacal destination like the Caribbean
we have in mind to enjoy the sun, sand and sea,
we believe that we only need these three elements of nature to be happy,
but there are also destinations that have to do with culture.

Cozumel not only has the most impressive natural beauties,
it is also developing activities that are linked to culture.

That is why we want to highlight the cultural activities in Cozumel,
after a few days on the beach tanning, you can go to three
spectacular places that will make you reconnect with the past, present and future.

The first is the ruins of San Gervasio, a mystical, millenary site full
of beautiful iguanas that guard this sacred place.

San Gervasio, Cozumel

San Gervasio is the largest archaeological zone on the island of Cozumel,
where there are ancient structuresthat frame the remains of the Mayan civilization
and serve as a sanctuary for the goddess Ix-chel.

Upon entering we will feel an energetic atmosphere.

The road is made of stone, as this was the way to know how to get to this or that place, 
and this reminds us of the natural intelligence that the Mayas had
to develop their cities and communication routes.

cozumel-ruins-san-gervasio

San Gervasio served as a strategic point for the political and economic development of its time.
Most of the structures were used as altars, shrines and for meetings of government officials.

El Pueblo del Maíz

A park that connects us with the Mayan ancestors, and where their way of life is explained,
the daily activities they had and a choreographic representation of their rituals is offered.

Where we will learn that fresh water comes from subway wells, from the liquid that accumulated
from the rainwater and that was accumulated by the surrounding nature.

The Maya also discovered that chicle, a gum extracted from the bark of a tree,
allowed them to stay hydrated while chewing it,
which they did when they had to walk for several hours or days.

mayan-village-cozumel-culture

There is also an explanation about the goddess Ix-chel,
who was known not only as an entity that intercedes for fertility,
but also for abundance in the Maya land.

We are given a copal bath to get rid of bad vibes and then we enter the pre-Hispanic universe,
where we are told that cocoa was used as currency to buy food,
we are taught how to grind corn to make dough and then we end up
making a tortilla to which we add a delicious pumpkin seed sauce.

Then there is the procedure for making chocolate,
which explains how the cocoa bean is obtained.

These seeds are put in the sun to dry and then roasted on the comal,
and then ground in the metate, without a sweetener, the flavor is similar to coffee,
the Mayas used honey so that the ground cocoa had flavor and became chocolate,
with which they also prepared beverages.

Later there is a choreographic representation of a ritual,
among other cultural activities worth appreciating.

ixchel-mayan-ritual-cozumel

El Planetario

Another of the cultural activities in Cozumel is for lovers of astronomy and anything to do
with space and the environment, there is an ideal place to learn about the past,
present and future: “The Cha’an Ka’an” planetarium, which has state-of-the-art technology.

Thanks to the geographical position of the island, the telescope has been able to see stars, 
planets and even galaxies.

5 activities with children in Cozumel, Quintana Roo

Cozumel is a beautiful island located in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico , with perfect activities to do with children. For being a few kilometers from the entertaining Playa del Carmen.

It is an island full of peace and tranquility, with the best view of the turquoise blue ocean unmatched by Mexican beaches. It is, without a doubt, a wonderful destination to spend a few happy days with your family. These are 5 places you should not miss to visit with the little ones of the house:

San Gervasio, Cozumel

cozumel-archeoligical-site-for-children

To begin with, it is the Archaeological Zone of the island. As in all these sites in Mexico, it is an excellent activity to do whit children, perfect to learn a little of the history of our country. Specifically, about the Maya culture, founders of this beautiful place.

Being in these ruins means the opportunity for children to run free and explore ancient spaces, full of history as well as being hidden among nature.

Punta Sur Ecotourism Park

lighthouse-beach

This park is an ideal state reserve for families with nature-loving children. Among its beaches of fine white sand and turquoise blue waters are miles of reefs to observe marine life, as well as an aviary, in addition to areas for observing terrestrial animals. In other words, it is a fun, protected natural space to explore with the family.

Inside is the Celarain Lighthouse which, like any other lighthouse, has a powerful reflector that illuminates the ocean. To reach the top you have to climb 133 circular steps.

If you do not suffer from claustrophobia and you consider that you and your family are able to climb (at your own pace, without rushing) this amount of steps, it is an adventure that you must do with children. At the top you will have spectacular views of the ocean and the island. It is well worth it.

Chankanaab

cozumel-chankanaab-park

This Mayan word means “small sea” in Spanish, and it is a large cenote where marine life thrives.

This natural paradise is located within the island’s National Marine Park and there are also several activities for the whole family: swimming with dolphins, zip lining, kayaking, sea lion show and exploring the botanical garden, among other activities that are perfect to do with children. The truth is that this place offers a day of guaranteed fun for the whole family.

Atlantis Submarine

submarine-cozumel-island

The Atlantis XII is the only tourist submarine in Mexico, and it is a true experience for the whole family. It is one of the most exciting activities you can do with children on the Cozumel island, as the submarine actually dives 30 meters under the sea, offering a natural view of the ocean depths.

It is a beautiful experience to observe the marine life without anyone telling you about it. “With more than 26 skylights and a large front window located at the bow of the submarine, especially the youngest members of the family will enjoy the most breathtaking views of the Chankanaab reef. You will have the opportunity to visit a mysterious sunken ship, more than 20 meters deep, while a member of our crew accompanies you with an entertaining narration.” Children and adults alike will rise to the surface in delight.

Downtown Cozumel

sa-miguel-downtown-cozumel-island

Finally, like all the centers of every town or city in Mexico, Cozumel’s is no exception. In my opinion this zócalo, located right on the ferry dock, is very “agringado”, but that does not take away from its beauty, on the contrary, it brings diversity and adds to the beauty of the Mexican. In these plazas you and your family can walk, run, eat and observe the local dynamics. A nice experience with the people who live and visit this island.

These 5 activities are, from my experience, the 5 most recommended when I ask myself what to see in Cozumel.

However, Cozumel works perfectly to stay with your family in an all-inclusive hotel, because the tranquility, the climate and the beauty of the sea lend themselves perfectly – much more than in other beaches – to enjoy with your family lying on the beach, eating unlimited meals at the hotel, taking advantage of the “kids club” that many of these resorts have, without having to travel, you can enjoy to the fullest, rest, have fun and finally return home with your heart swollen with love.

What to see in Cozumel - Sightseeing around the island

One of the best things to see in Cozumel, is San Miguel, the largest town on the island, where commercial stores, car rentals, nightlife, restaurants are concentrated, and from here there are three ways to get around Cozumel.

Some streets are decorated with huge graffiti murals of the SEA Walls, Murals For The Oceans project, painted by international artists.

In the western part of the island, the beaches between Punta Norte and Punta Sur, such as San Francisco or Playa del Sol, have fine white sand and calm, crystalline waters with a large number of marine species that can be observed, ideal for activities such as diving or snorkeling, along the reefs, highlighting the Palancar reef with intense underwater life, multiple species of tropical fish and black coral. On the other hand, the eastern part is open sea, so it is rougher, and extreme caution is recommended when bathing on this side of the island of Cozumel.

sa-miguel-downtown-cozumel-island

The coastal road that follows from San Miguel to the south goes along different beaches with bars, diving spots, the Chankanaab Park (Mayan site converted into a theme park) and resorts, and to the right the site of El Cedral. At the southern end, a detour indicates the entrance to the Punta Sur Eco-Beach Park (fee) where the Mayan remains of El Caracol and the Celarain Lighthouse are located. The park guards a bird habitat with sighting towers, crocodiles, turtle nesting area and the Navigation Museum.

Island of Passion

Another thing to see in Cozumel is a small piece of paradise of barely 1 km in extension, known as the Island of Passion or Mukyaj Peten -in Mayan-, a culture that considered it a sacred place in ancient times, It is usually a favorite place for couples who, attracted by the beauty of the landscape and a pre-Hispanic legend, decide to unite their lives among majestic views and in the belief that they receive the divinity of the deity, through a lasting union, emulating the love that Ixchel professed to Itzamná -God of the Sun.

It is best to dedicate a couple of days to Cozumel, if you want to travel in peace and quiet and enjoy its coastline. The gastronomic specialties of seafood are also a must to complete the visit, so do not forget to ask for a good tray of seafood.

How to get to Cozumel

Cozumel has its own International Airport, so you can make a direct arrival.

You can also arrive from Cancun International Airport, which is one hour away from Playa del Carmen.

From Playa del Carmen there are several ferry lines that will take you to Cozumel in approximately 30 to 45 minutes, until arriving in San Miguel de Cozumel.

To move around the island you can rent a car or a scooter, which are very good for touring the island and making stops to eat and bathe. Next to the road that runs along the coast, a second road for bicycles and motorcycles has been created, making it even safer to ride.

Cruises to Cozumel

The beauty of the island of Cozumel and the underwater reef has led to an increase in the arrival of cruise ships calling at the small port in recent years.

The numerous excursions around the island, both diving and visiting the beaches, are one of the most popular activities in Cozumel as well as in the Riviera Maya.
