Snorkelers can find paradise at Chankanaab National Park or La
Ceiba and El Presidente hotels (where you can snorkel without
staying there). Hikers and bikers might also like to go to the
main Maya ruins, San Gervasio. The trails between the sites
follow the ancient sacbeob (plural of sacb‚) and the shade of
trees gives it a natural ambiance. As much fun to walk around as
it is to see the ruins.
The Cozumel Museum opened in
1987 in an airy building along the seafront, 21/2 blocks north
of the main plaza. It presents local archeological history in
four salas, exhibition halls, on two floors. The well-arranged
museum is open 10 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m. weekdays and 1 to 6 p.m.
on Saturdays. No flash photograhy is permitted.
There
are several horseback riding ranches offering guided trips into
the bush. Our favorite was the one at the very end of the north
coast road along the western shore, after the last of the condos
and hotels. Rides into the undeveloped jungle, and along the
beach and lagoons are available; this stable is less expensive
than those near the southern hotels. We skipped the caballero's
offer of a visit to his ranch to see a caged lion and
concentrated on looking for wildlife in the wild.
