Cozumel, Mexico. The Conquistadors first saw Mexico from the shores of Cozumel while searching for gold. Today, visitors to the island continue to seek out gold and silver jewelry in the shops of San Miguel. Plus, the waters around Cozumel's shelter coral reefs make this one of the best snorkeling areas in the world.

Majestically perched above the turquoise Caribbean, lie the ruins of the ancient Mayan City of Tulum.
After an early breakfast, you'll board a ferry for a trip from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen. During the one-hour bus trip to Tulum, a guide will brief you on the sights you are about to see.
At Tulum, an English-speaking guide will take you to visit the ruins, considered to be the most important on the Yucatan Peninsula. The centrally located public, administrative, civic and religious buildings are ringed by a protective wall on three sides and the sea on the other.
The site was occupied as far back as 600 A.D. However, it was most densely populated around 1200 A.D. You will be struck by the pyramid-shaped El Castillo, sitting atop a forty-foot cliff, which dominates the city.
The nearby Temple of the Descending God, provides an equally excellent insight into the architecture of the Mayan people, who reached considerable heights in the Arts and Sciences, only to decline and vanish for no apparent reason.
You will visit these and many others of the more than sixty structures of the ancient fortress.
You will then be taken back to the pier for a return ferry trip to Cozumel. Please note that this tour will end downtown, not at the ship. It is the guests own responsibility to return to the vessel.
