📍 Destination Overview
Isla Mujeres, meaning 'Island of Women', lies off Mexico's Yucatán, named after Maya goddess statues found there. Playa Norte's white sand and calm water are among Mexico's finest beaches. Garrafón reef park offers snorkeling, kayaking and zip lines, while MUSA underwater museum holds 500 coral-encrusted sculptures. Gentle whale sharks appear in summer - a relaxed Caribbean getaway.
