A Mini Look at How to Discover Mexico on a Port Adventure in Cozumel

A popular destination on our Caribbean cruises, Cozumel is a paradise island off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. In addition to splashtacular and nature-centered excursions that give you a taste of island life, we offer an abundance of Port Adventures to immerse your family in the area’s rich Mexican and Mayan culture.

One of the fun ways we bring history to life for families is at Discover Mexico, a cultural park celebrating Mexico from the pre-Hispanic age to modern times. Miniature replicas of pyramids, monuments, cathedrals, and the Paseo de la Reforma – Mexico City’s elegant boulevard – give your family a unique opportunity to visually trace the evolution of Mexico’s ancient civilizations and explore the Spanish colonial era. These fun photos of Mickey and the gang show some of the park’s miniature sites.

On our Cozumel Highlights, Ruins and Discover Mexico Cultural Park Port Adventure, you’ll also have the chance to view age-old artifacts at the park’s art museum, taste delicious regional cuisine and browse handmade items from Mexico’s finest artisans. Other highlights of this Port Adventure include a visit to The Mayan Cacao Company, where you’ll learn about the history of chocolate, and a tour of the ruins of San Gervasio, an ancient Mayan site dating back to before 1000 AD. It’s sure to be a fun, culture-filled day for the whole family!

Remember, when the ship’s in port, venture ashore!
