This remote place, away from massive tourism, belongs to the natural reserve and protected area of Yum Balam.Sample the pleasures of this unequalled island. Its simple tourist infrastructure and relaxed lifestyle offer you an unforgettable Holbox vacation.
Holbox Island is a secluded and unspoiled territory inhabited by a small population. On this island, you will find few phones, cars, and computers but a great variety of flamingoes, seashells, and all kinds of birds and dolphins in their natural habitat. Before the Spanish conquest, Mayans inhabited Holbox. Over the years, while Holbox was prospering from its coconut plantations, an important fishing industry developed due to the richness of the surrounding sea.
Holbox Island offers several miles of unspoiled beaches, full of seashells and lush mangrove vegetation. The seawaters change tone, going from the turquoise blue of the Caribbean, to the emerald blue of the Gulf of Mexico. All these conditions make Holbox a perfect habitat for abundant and exotic wildlife.Here you can amuse yourself watching dolphins jumping out of the water or flamingoes moving elegantly with a magical sunset as the background.
During your time in Holbox, you can stay in charming "casitas," small houses usually built of wood with thatched roofs. Most Holbox people sleep in hammocks that are knitted by local women; you can buy one to take home with you. Many souvenir shops also offer other crafts and accessories handmade by local people.
To get to Holbox Island, you have to board the public ferry from Chiquila.Holbox is located in the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula, just where the Mexican Caribbean starts in Cabo Catoche. The island is 25 miles long and its width varies from less than 1/2 to over a mile wide, making a total area of 25 square miles.
Holbox in Mayan means "black hole," named after the tiny lagoon in the southern area of the island. The bottom of this lagoon is dark, giving the impression of being black. Different rivers cross the jungle mangroves dividing the island into three separate sections. Only the smallest one is inhabited by humans.
Holbox has a friendly population. It is a peaceful town, where life moves at a slow rhythm. Escape from the hectic, modern world and relax in your hammock in this heavenly village. You can also rent a bike, motorcycle, or golf cart to get around this unique town.
Nowadays, fishing is the main economic activity, although tourism is growing slowly and continuously. The natural attractions make Holbox an excellent destination, perfect for ecotourism, which contributes to local people's income. The government has declared this island a protected area, to ensure the survival of the extraordinary local wildlife in future generations.
Holbox cuisine consists mainly of fresh and healthy seafood obtained directly from local fishermen.

The Cozumel Reef National Park has been a protected area since 1996. Its colorful marine life attracts divers from all over the world.

A rich historical past inherited from their Mayan ancestors and array of leisure activities await you in Chetumal. Enjoy the impressive, turquoise and jade hues of the bay, the nice, gentle breeze that blows up and down the streets, the sweet songs of the migratory birds, and the hospitality of the locals that will be more than glad to share a little of their joy for life through their traditions and celebrations.
Those not familiar with Chetumal, might think that it is just a border town, or at best the doorway to Mexico or to Central America. Even travelers dazzled by the splendor of the world- class resorts of northern Quintana Roo, acknowledge the invaluable wealth of this tropical paradise, home to the second longest reef barrier of the world, but then again, Chetumal is much more than that.
Chetumal is like a canvass on which a master painter has captured the greenness of the rain forest, the whiteness of the beaches, visited only by the local fishermen, the brightness of the colors of the wildlife, and the distinct architecture of the wooden houses with their red, slanted, roofs in the style of 'Old Chetumal'.
It is said that Chetumal was the birthplace of the first mestizo in America. When the Spanish soldier Gonzalo Guerrero and the Mayan princess Zazil Ha fulfilled their love for each other and conceived their first born. A fact that adds an air of mysticism to the already rich, historical legacy of this town.
The War of Castes, an ethnic conflict that broke out between the Mayan Indians and the white European settlers of the Yucatan Peninsula, would forever change the fate of the then, peaceful and unexplored land of Chetumal. Due to the constant trafficking of arms between Belize and the insurgent rebels in 1898, the Federal Government sent Othon P. Blanco, Second- Lieutenant of the Army, to establish a customs post that later became the town of Payo Obispo. The hope, the expectations, and the hard work of those first men and women helped set the foundations for what eventually would come to be Chetumal.
In the following years, being a border town enabled Chetumal to base part of its economic progress on the trade of goods between Mexico and Central America and on the exploitation of its natural resources such as, the production of natural gum resin from the gum tree, as well as timber of the many tropical trees which were in great demand abroad, for the making of fine furniture.
Despite the political conflicts going on locally and nationally and the adverse, climatic conditions, Chetumal continued its economic and social growth non-stop until 1955, when Hurricane Janet struck the area. Most of the original, wooden houses were destroyed and the area was devastated, forcing the population to move away temporarily to gather resources and eventually rebuild their town.
From the 1960's and 1970's on, Chetumal started to look as it does today, with its parks and town squares, its historical monuments and landmarks, modern and efficient roads and highways, and many other services, like hospitals, schools, nightclubs, malls. The well known duty free zone, officially declared in 1974, has established the tax-exempt trade of basic and luxury commodities.
The city of Cancun is young, as are most of its permanent and temporary inhabitants. It was just a small sand barrier some 35 years ago when the plan began to develop it into the vacation haven of the 21st century. Today, Cancun consists of a medium-sized coastal city and a long, thin island connected to the mainland through bridges at its north and south ends. It features world-class resorts, hotels, clubs, and malls. It offers something for everyone, from an all-day fun party beach to an isolated, tranquil island.
Here you'll find everything, from ultra chic to funky laidback, from R&B to techno, from tacos and cheeseburgers to fancy, mainstream standards. All tastes are welcomed and catered to in this paradise. No wonder this is Mexico's most popular resort.

Hotel Zone
Most resorts, hotels, and condominiums are located in the Hotel Zone, as this long strip of island is known.It is the area where it all comes together for most visitors.Kukulcan Boulevard is the main and only thoroughfare. On the west side of the island is Laguna Nichupte, a vast lagoon home to hundreds of marinas, waterfront restaurants, shopping malls, a couple of golf courses, a few islands and inlets, and the fantastic sunsets you'll see during your Cancun vacation.
