Playa Norte Isla Mujeres
We recently took a day off to act tourists and visit Isla Mujeres (the Island of Women). Isla Mujeres is a laid-back island off the coast of Cancun with a very Caribbean feel.
There is a “town” portion of the island with many shops and restaurants, the bulk of them on a pedestrian walkway called Hidalgo.
This was the slowest moving cart on the island.
But the fun thing to do is rent a golf cart and explore the whole island.
There is a turtle sanctuary, where turtles are bred and fed before they are released into the ocean. You will see a lot of turtles from tiny babies to very large adults. 30 pesos to gets you in, another few pesos will get you some turtle food.
This church has the best view ever!
Wandering around the town is the main activity. Isla has wooden buildings, which are very rare on the mainland. There is also an opportunity to swim with dolphins or visit Garrafón Natural Reef Park which has good snorkeling and ziplines. For more information on day trips to Isla Mujers check out Alma Libre Bookstore newsletter.
Taking selfies while driving…not a good idea.
