The Mayans called Cozumel the Island of the Swallows. Today, it's known as one of the best dive sites in the world. Divers take cheap flights to Cozumel to practise their sport amid the walls, reefs and abundant of sea life of these protected waters.
Cozumel lies just 20km off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the State of Quintana Roo. On the west coast, between the north and south hotel zones, is San Miguel. This pretty city with a small-town feel is home to most of Cozumel's population. The eastern side of the island is largely uninhabited. The coastline is wild, isolated and perfect for get-away-from-it-all vacationers. It is dotted with just a few restaurant/beach bars.
For travellers who land on their cheap flights to Cozumel Airport, there are plenty of options for side trips. Fast jet ferries take passengers to the mainland and back ten times a day. Attractions include the quiet resort town and excellent diving spot of Playa del Carmen and the Mayan ruins at Chitzen Itza, Coba, Tulum and Xcaret.
