Daytrip to: Isla Mujeres


Isle Mujeres is the eastern most point of mexico. It is an island only 7 miles long and hardly a half mile wide. The views were like nothing I have ever seen. I would definitley recommend Isle Mujeres to honeymooners and backpackers. The best way to see the island is to rent either a scooter or golfcart and zip around...it was a blast.

Getting their is half the fun, I recommend going on a catamaran. Isla Mujeres is paradise. The night life was awesome and the beaches were white with crystal blue warm water. It made snorkeling really amazing. You could see so many fish and under water life! The sun sets where amazing as well.

Favourite spots:
My favorite spot on the whole island was the eastern most part where the Mayan temple of fertility was. The whole area was so beautiful. They also had famous artist from around the world build tons of sculpture art. It was really cool. Also, they had a zip line that went over the water! It was a four part zip line, starting at the top of a cliff diving into the water. It was so fun! After the zip line, walk around the tip of the island at the bottom of the cliffs, they made a walkway. The waves were almost at eye level, just crashing into the cliffs right next to us. I was completely overwhelmed with the views. My favorite in town hang out was this little coffee shop. To this day it was the most relaxing location I have every been in!

Sights:
You can be the first person in Mexico to see the sun rise, which is pretty cool.
The Mayan temple is something to see as well.
