No trip to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is complete without a boat ride over to Isla Mujeres, aka the Isle of Women (pronounced ISS-lah Moo-HAIR-es).
Just a seven-mile boat ride east of the mainland across
breathtaking turquoise sea, Isla Mujeres is known for its lovely beaches,
world-class fishing, and spectacular coral reefs. There is also a lighthouse,
the remains of a Mayan temple, and a sanctuary for sea turtles. We spent a day
exploring the funky little village, and encountered a parade, snorkeled through
schools of colorful fish on a tour with the marvelous Squalo Adventures, and discovered
the MUSA, a fascinating underwater art museum.
We also had the worst pina coladas ever. (But everything else, we can recommend!)
