When we first decided to visit Cozumel, I wasn’t sure what to expect. In my mind, I thought it was just an extension of Cancun with more diving. I expected lots of bars and spring breakers. Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth. Travel outside of the port town at all and you are… Read more about Untouched Beauty at Punta Sur Park in Cozumel
