Cozumel Jungle Tour

Cozumel Island is the third largest island in Mexico (after Isla Tiburón in Sonora and Isla Ángel de la Guarda in the Sea of Cortés), as well as the second most populated island in the country (after Isla del Carmen in Campeche).

It is important from an ecological and faunistic point of view due to the large number of endemic species and subspecies that inhabit it (27 vertebrates), including the largest number of endemic island mammals (seven), including the dwarf mastofauna.
These and other biogeographical peculiarities make it the second island conservation priority in the country.

Travel through the jungle of Cozumel on this off-road vehicle tour with enough time to swim in a cenote and drive through a coral cave, all while discovering the Mayan culture.

Unlike most of the islands that make up the Greater and Lesser Antilles, most of Cozumel’s territory is preserved, as agricultural and livestock activities are restricted to small areas for family use. In addition, most of the population and tourism are concentrated in the town of San Miguel in the northern zone, so anthropic zones cover approximately 11% of the island.

The island has four Natural Protected Areas: the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Marine Park, the Laguna Colombia Flora and Fauna State Refuge (Parque Punta Sur) of which three quarters of its surface is made up of lagoon and mangrove systems, while the rest is occupied by a small portion of medium-sized jungle and beaches; the Cozumel Island Flora and Fauna Protection Area and finally the “Selvas y Humedales” State Reserve in the center of the island.

Let your senses guide you on this adventure on dirt roads surrounded by abundant nature. A lively and knowledgeable staff will take care of you while telling you fun facts about the Jade Cave Cenote.

The cenote is connected to several subway tunnels on the island. When you arrive, you can take the opportunity to swim and admire the incredible nature.

During the adventure you will discover the cave system of Coral Cove, drive through the village of El Cedral, travel along several rocky trails, swim in a cenote and cross mud holes that will test your driving skills. You will also have the opportunity to take with you some wonderful memories captured by a team of photographers throughout the trip.

Chocolate: food of the gods

Make your own Mayan chocolate from scratch. Discover the process of making chocolate from bean to bar inside this great little chocolate factory in Cozumel. Throughout the tour you will taste the different flavors of cocoa during the process and the Mayan drink made with the original ingredients.

The visit to the small and familiar chocolate factory consists of 3 parts:

1-. Museum history of chocolate in Mayan times:

A brief journey through time to discover the importance of the cocoa bean for the Mayas.

Cacao was already cultivated by the Mayas more than 2,500 years ago. The name “cacao” derives from the Nahuatl word cacahoatl or cacahuatl, meaning “bitter juice”, and “chocolate” derives from the Mayan word chocol, meaning “hot” and “water”, respectively.

In the 18th century, the naturalist Carolus Linnaeus, based on Mayan and Aztec beliefs, named the cacao tree with the scientific name Theobroma cacao, whose Latin meaning is “food of the gods”. This tree is a symbol of abundance, rulership and ancestry, and serves as a metaphorical conduit through which the souls of humans and the gods travel through earth, heaven and hell.

The Aztecs learned from the Maya the cultivation and use of cocoa. They called cacahuat to cocoa and xocolatl to the aromatic drink obtained from its fruits. At that time, xocolatl was appreciated as a restorative to give strength and awaken the sexual appetite, treat fatigue, increase the weight of the malnourished, stimulate the nervous system of the apathetic, exhausted or weak, improve digestion and stimulate the kidneys.

2-.Create your own chocolate

To prepare it, the Mayas ground the cocoa beans until they were reduced to powder and also added seeds or corn. The resulting powder was mixed with cold water and stirred until the foam rose.

According to the Chocolate Museum in Uxmal, Yucatán, the froth of the drink was directly related to the purity of the person who carried out the task; if the chocolate did not froth, the person was impure, and the more froth he produced, the greater the purity of his soul. The fate of those who failed to froth the drink was sacrifice.

Here we make the traditional drink, as they did in Mayan times. Cacao mixed with some spices, like the ones we have here in front of us, and with hot water. Here we have the cacao seed with the pulp covering it. That pulp is used to ferment the cacao, the seed is put in wooden boxes and left to rest for three to eight days. During this time, the pulp decomposes as it has sugar, makes an alcohol and is fermented. This cocoa without the shell, we are going to grind it. Using the metate we will grind until we have the powder, the fine powder. If the cocoa continues to be ground, the seed releases the fat and cocoa butter is created. This paste was used since pre-Hispanic times to treat wounds.

In the chocolate factory you will live the experience of grinding cocoa beans to transform them into cocoa paste and then into chocolate. You can take it home to prepare a delicious ancestral drink. Undoubtedly, another cultural secret of Cozumel.

3-. Tasting throughout the visit.

Cacao was the second most revered plant for the Maya, only after corn, and practically all that is known of the uses and elaboration of foods and beverages based on it comes from hieroglyphic inscriptions on ceramics that have survived to the present day.
The inscriptions not only indicated that a cup or vessel was used for cocoa, but also engraved with the flavor: bitter, sweet, fruity, cocoa mixed with corn and even cocoa seasoned with chili.

During your visit you will taste different flavors of chocolate, from the roasted bean to the final product, you will also be able to observe through windows, the elaboration of chocolate and its packaging process. Totally accessible for the whole family.

Each intimate 90-minute tour starts on the hour (09:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m.) and costs $25 USD per person. As this is a small factory, space is limited, so they request online reservations with payment in advance. Regardless of whether you have booked a tour, you can visit the factory store to purchase chocolate souvenirs.

Pharmacological properties of chocolate

As a bonus, here are several beneficial effects of cocoa consumption, as it is an antioxidant, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, anti-adhesive for white blood cells, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-diabetic and “bad” cholesterol reducer.

Chocolate is rich in components with euphoriant and stimulating properties. One of these components is phenylethylamine, which acts on the brain causing emotional well-being; it also activates the nervous system.

It is beneficial to achieve greater activity and physical performance, because it possesses alkaloids such as caffeine and theobromine, which tend to excite the nervous system, promoting activity.

Recently it has been discovered that chocolate has antioxidant qualities. Consumed in moderation, it can be useful for cardiovascular health and as prevention of heart disease.

The best excursion in Cozumel

Río Secreto is one of the tourist attractions with the best reviews to do in the Riviera Maya

whether we go as a family with children, group of friends, couple or if we make the trip alone and we want to join a group.

What is Rio Secreto?

Rio Secreto (or Pool Tunich in Mayan) is a set of subway galleries and rivers formed from the erosion of the rock.

The continuous filtration of rainwater allows the stalactite and stalagmite formations that abound in the caves to take shape.

Some species of flora and fauna have evolved in this habitat characterized by the absence of sunlight.

Animals such as fish, insects and bats have used their auditory sensory capacity to compensate for the lack of light.

Trees have managed to extend their roots tens of meters to reach subway lagoons, searching for water for their growth.

Recognized by National Geographic as a sustainable project that allows you to approach

this natural wonder with the utmost professionalism and respect.

Rio Secreto opens the door to a world unknown to surface dwellers.

Environmental education is one of the aspects that prevails here

as well as the generation of the minimum impact on the tours since it is an extremely delicate ecosystem.

Rio Secreto - Sustainable Project

As a unique natural heritage Rio Secreto seeks to be more than a tourist option in the Riviera Maya

and its commitment to the environment is recognized by entities such as

National Geographic with whom we collaborated in a Documentary.

Since it is part of a Natural Reserve

its exploitation for tourism is governed by strict regulations that prioritize respect for nature

and collaboration with the owners of the land where Río Secreto is located.

The groups that visit Río Secreto are small and limited so that the human impact is not aggressive with its habitat.

specialized guide in Spanish or English, lockers to leave our belongings, wetsuits, life vest, helmet with flashlight,

towel, food buffet of typical Mexican food, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Before starting we will attend the Mayan ceremony to request permission to access the underworld to the gods.

Rio Secreto Normal

This is the most basic tour, but it is not lacking in spectacularity.

The tour combines stretches through the subway galleries walking on the rock,

with others where equipped with vests we will get wet and swim.

Río Secreto Plus

with rappelling and biking activities and a tour that combines both the subway world and trails through the jungle,

we will enjoy the jungle and its fauna.

In addition, a play of lights and sounds will be projected in the Hall of Peace, a natural amphitheater.

Río Secreto Wild

Only suitable for the most adventurous and active tourism lovers

Rio Secreto Wild is the wildest option, we will move inside the subway river galleries on foot, by bicycle, swimming and diving.

Río Secreto Privilege

It is the most exclusive activity and also the most personalized,

since we will choose how long the tour will last and we will decide how to face the challenges that we will encounter guided only by the light of a flashlight.

Tips and recommendations

– The pure waters as well as its ecosystem can be endangered if we use or do not eliminate from our body the chemicals present in perfumes, sunscreen, etc.

– Rio Secreto is surrounded by a lot of nature and for this reason we must be attentive to the fauna.

Especially with the ants that can bite and cause irritation and itching that it is better not to scratch as it will last longer.

Guided tours in Cozumel, México | Check our top 10

Guided toursin Cozumel, across from Playa del Carmen, lies one of Mexico’s most beautiful islands.

Cozumel has long been one of the top cruise and guided tour destinations in the world, and it’s no surprise.

The lush jungle-covered island is surrounded by sugary sand,

encircled by the deliciously warm and glistening Caribbean Sea.

With so much natural beauty and so many cruise lines docking each year,

travelers can expect a plethora of tours and excursions from Cozumel.

The island of Cozumel has been important throughout Mexican history.

It began as a sacred place for the Mayans, particularly the women,

who traveled from the mainland to worship Ix Chel, the goddess of fertility.

As it grew and developed over the centuries, it became a hotspot for cruise ships,

honeymooners and hikers from Playa del Carmen, who were attracted by its energetic

capital of San Miguel, as well as its magnificent beaches.

Today it is truly an idyllic island paradise filled with all kinds of adventures and activities, both on land and at sea.

From snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of the protected marine park to touring the coast

on a driverless buggy tour and even an underwater experience, these are the best tours and excursions in Cozumel.

1. Explore the ruins of Tulum

During your stay on the island of Cozumel, you will be steps away from the magnificent sights and ancient ruins of the mainland.

A visit to Tulum should be on your itinerary if you are staying in Cozumel.

Ancient Tulum is a city perched on a 40-foot cliff overlooking one of Mexico’s most beautiful beaches.

It is the only fortified Mayan city on the coast and its main tower is an iconic image recognized around the world.

The town dates back to 1200, although many buildings were not constructed until the 15th century.

To explore Tulum, this Tulum Mayan Ruins Exploration Guided Tour meets the requirements to take you from Cozumel to Tulum and back. The 5.5-hour tour simplifies things, including the ferry transfer to Playa del Carmen.

From Playa del Carmen, your guide will take you to the archaeological site of Tulum,

where you will take a walking guided tour to learn about the history of this beautiful historical site.

Bring a bathing suit if you want to swim in the beautiful waters below the ruins.

After the tour, you will return to the ferry terminal for the return trip to Cozumel

2. Swimming with fishes

Sunny Cozumel is one of the best diving destinations in the world.

Believe it or not, it ranks with Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

Cozumel is located at the northern end of the Mesoamerican Reef,

which stretches along the Caribbean Sea, touching Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.

Cozumel is surrounded by the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park,

home to 26 species of coral and more than 500 species of fish.
But even if you’re not a certified diver, you’re just wearing a snorkel mask for an equally fascinating experience.

Divers looking to make the most of their Cozumel vacation will want to book this Cozumel snorkeling guided tour,

which visits the Palancar, Columbia and Cielo reefs surrounding the island.

The four-hour guided tour begins on a glass-bottom boat, which departs from the pier.

The first stop will be El Cielo, which is one of the most spectacular places not only in Cozumel, but in all of Mexico.

El Cielo translates as ‘paradise’, and we’ll soon see why: a glance at the shallow waters will reveal a

white sandy bottom dotted with hundreds of beautiful starfish.

From El Cielo, the tour heads to Colombia Reef, known for its visibility, sea turtles, barracudas,

eagle rays and many more types of colorful fish.

Finally, head to Palancar Reef to see nurse sharks, lobsters, moray eels and more.

After four hours of frolicking in the crystal clear waters, divers re-board the boat for refreshments

before returning to the Cozumel pier.

3. Take a submarine ride

Not surprisingly, most guided tours and excursions from Cozumel tend to involve the water.

When it looks so dazzling and is teeming with such exquisite wildlife, it’s hard not to be in, on (or under) the water at all times.

Speaking of submarines, one of the best tours and excursions from Cozumel is to board a submarine for

a unique perspective beneath the waves.

This Atlantis expedition submarine takes travelers below the water’s surface to depths of up to

100 feet to discover the marine life that lives in the protected Chankanaab Park.

The tour begins with a short cruise along the coast of Cozumel to the dive site,

where visitors will board the U.S. Coast Guard-certified submarine and dive beneath the waves.

The submarine cruises along the ocean floor, revealing parts of the reef normally only seen by divers.

Keep your eyes peeled for parrotfish, grunts and groupers.

4. Try a Buggy in Cozumel

Ready for a different kind of adventure? How about exploring Cozumel from the driver’s seat of an adventurous buggy,

designed to handle the island’s rugged and winding terrain?

With this half-day autonomous buggy guided tour of Cozumel, guests are in control and drive the four-passenger vehicle around the island.

The tour begins when you meet your guide near the cruise port to pick up the keys to your buggy.

In a caravan-style train, you will follow the group to the first stop at El Cedral, which is a Mayan ruins site on the island.

Here you will spend an hour exploring the archaeological site, learning about Mayan history and their presence in Cozumel.

(Fun fact: Cozumel means “island of swallows” in Mayan).

After the ruins, the buggy tour continues around the island to discover the different and magnificent viewpoints.

Take a break to enjoy a delicious fresh lunch before putting on your snorkeling gear and diving into the waters of the Cozumel Reef and SkyReef National Park.

This tour lasts 4.5 hours and includes snorkel gear, lunch and snacks.

5. Take a tour along Cozumel in a sunset cruise

Visiting a beach destination in Mexico and skipping a sunset cruise would be a big mistake.

What could be more magnificent than admiring a spectacular tropical sunset at sea? Fortunately,

Cozumel does not disappoint when it comes to sunset catamaran cruises.

While each sunset cruise may be slightly different, most depart from San Miguel de Cozumel, the island’s main town.

Some cruises are more intimate than others and each has a different ambiance.

All tend to have good music and traditional food.

If you’re looking for more than just snacks, consider booking a dedicated dinner cruise, which will serve full meals.

And, of course, all cruises come with beautiful sunsets that light up the sky with bright swaths of pink, orange and purple.

6. Enjoy the most beautiful beaches

The island is known as an important diving destination, but its beautiful beaches are also must-see places to visit in Cozumel.
You can enjoy an authentic white sand paradise. It is not easy to choose, but here are my favorites:

Passion Island: it is a small private island of just 2 km with mangroves, beautiful reefs and long white sandy beaches.

It can be reached by boat (15 min from Cozumel) and I recommend arriving early so you can enjoy all the facilities.

Chen rio: it is a well kept secret! It has lush vegetation, natural pools with crystal clear waters and a good seafood restaurant.

Playa Palancar: it is one of the most virgin beaches in Cozumel, although it has a beach club (free entrance and no minimum consumption). It is quite a touristy beach due to the beauty of its waters and its proximity to the Palancar and Colombia reefs.

Playa San Francisco: an ideal beach for families. There is a beach club where you can rent kayaks, paddle boards,

jet skis, snorkeling equipment or enjoy the floating games. Also, the piña coladas are very good.

Playa Encantada: a quiet beach with golden sand and calm waters, it is located near the south of the island,

near the Punta Celarain lighthouse and the archaeological site of El Caracol.

7. Take a gastronomic tour in the market

If you like to discover authentic places when you travel, I recommend you to take this guided tour.

The guide takes you to the market and several small places that are not touristy.

It is an opportunity to see the local life of Cozumel, to learn more about the history and culture of Mexico,

to talk to the locals and, of course, to try some of the island’s specialties.

For me this was one of the best activities in Cozumel!

One of the best parts of visiting Cozumel is experiencing the local cuisine.

Traditional Yucatan cuisine is only offered in this regional part of Mexico and, especially in Cozumel,

it is some of the freshest and most authentic you can find.

A gastronomic tour is a fantastic way to explore the many flavors that have come together in the Yucatán.

It can also function as a city tour, so it’s almost like doing two tours in one.

Gastronomic guided tour tend to take travelers off the beaten path to local restaurants and food stalls to sample

everything from empanadas to tacos and everything in between.

If you prefer hands-on, consider booking a cooking class in Cozumel.

These are usually small classes and focus on traditional Yucatecan dishes and ingredients.

Some even include market tours, where your guide will show you how to select the freshest ingredients

to prepare these wonderful traditional recipes.

8. Visit a pearl farm

This is an unusual activity in Cozumel that few tourists know about.

Cozumel Pearl Farm is a family project that was created to study and sustainably cultivate the Pinctada Radiata,

an oyster capable of producing pearls.

Over the years, they have started to offer exclusive tours for a maximum of 8 people.

First they take you by boat (45min) to the farm which is located on an islet of white sand between the Caribbean

and the lagoon of Bahia Ciega, north of Cozumel.

The visit starts with a presentation of the project, the cultivation process, the research, etc. Afterwards,

the guide will take you snorkeling in the crystal clear waters to see the oysters and the beautiful reef formations.

Then you can enjoy the pristine beach and hammocks, beer and burger included!
They even have a small jewelry shop if you want to buy pearls.

Visit the Cozumel Pearl Farm:

Guided tours from Monday to Saturday, departing at 10am and returning at 4pm.
Maximum 8 people per tour (per day), so it is very important to book in advance.
It is also possible to sleep on site (camping).
Web page

9. Discover Mexico Park

It is an interactive open-air museum with models of all the most important monuments in Mexico: Chichen Itza, the ruins of Tulum, the Cathedral of Mexico, etc.

It is a must-see in Cozumel, as it allows you to get to know the most important places in Mexico.

There is even a performance of the Voladores de Papantla, an impressive ritual dance that

has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Or you can choose the chocolate and tequila package, with buffet lunch.

In addition to admission to the park with guided tour and a welcome margarita, you will participate in a chocolate making workshop and an introduction to tequila where you will learn how to make a margarita.

It also includes a taco buffet (with vegan options) with handmade tortillas.

10. Drive for adventure

Did you know that more than half of Cozumel’s land area is protected? This means that more than half of the island is still covered by undeveloped jungle.

A single road bypasses the part of the island that allows development, taking visitors from the touristy west side of the island to the wilder, more rugged east coast. The best way to get around? Driving a jeep, of course.

This combined jeep and snorkel tour is a great way to make the most of what Cozumel has to offer, all in one.

Get behind the wheel of a Jeep Wrangler and cruise the roads of Cozumel to familiarize yourself with the terrain.

The guided tour takes you from Punta Sur Eco Beach Park to snorkel and enjoy the picturesque powder-soft beaches.

It also includes a visit to an archaeological site, crocodile exhibits, lunch and more.

Swim along the shores of Playa el Cielito, part of the El Cielo Biosphere.

Snorkeling equipment is also provided to experience the Chankanaab reef. Guests are picked up and dropped off near the cruise port.
