Travellers’ secrets

Explore the reef

First made famous through the lens of Jacques Cousteau, explore Chankanaab and Palancar reefs, part of the world’s second longest reef and renowned for its fantastic scuba diving.

Sunday evening in san miguel

On Sunday evenings there is often a free concert in the main square of San Miguel. Find a good spot to sit with a cerveza (beer), catch the cool night breezes and engage in some entertaining people-watching.

Hiking in the rainforest

Lace up your hiking boots for a trek through the rainforest to San Gervasio, the most well-preserved Mayan ruins on the island. Inhabited from 200 AD until the Spanish conquest, San Gervasio was a sanctuary of the Goddess Ix Chel, the fertility goddess, drawing pilgrims from the entire Mayan world to worship her.

Beach Activity

If you want to frolic in the waves and work on a tan, the western shore obliges with a white, sandy beach and calm waters. The eastern coast, however, is better suited for photography and shore-bound activities.
